 From 
<http://www.suntimes.com/business/feder/922496,CST-FIN-feder30.article>Robert 
Feder at the Chicago Sun-Times:

Still reeling from budget cuts, massive layoffs and disappointing 
ratings, news/talk WLS-AM (890) lost its top boss Tuesday.

In an unexpected move, John Gallagher resigned after more than three 
years as president and general manager of the Citadel Broadcasting station.

No reason was cited, but sources close to Gallagher said he had been 
feeling increasing frustration since Citadel took over the station 
last year from Walt Disney Co.'s ABC Radio.

On orders from Citadel last February, he eliminated more than a dozen 
jobs and virtually gutted the news department.
