WWWN "a work in progress" (Robert Feder)

On the perceived loud-o-meter they are a "6", like WBEZ running NPR programming.
I think to get people to listen, they'll need to get that up to a 8.5 or 9 like you-know-who on 105.9.
The promos, other canned elements seem quite loud enough, but the mic processing makes the station
sound too mellow to be Chicago.
They don't sound big. I hope they intend to try.

When WIBC/Indy moved to FM, they had the compression cranked way up. Within 6 weeks, they had adopted a sound far more like that employed by NPR. Many other commercial FM talkers sound similar (WTOP/Washington is one).
 
The audio is much improved. Not smashed, but now it's up where the voices actually have presence.
The reverb is just right for a talk format. You don't hear it, you perceive it.
It wouldn't be enough for music, but is perfect as used here.

I like the bell for traffic. It's a gas station bell.
