Warren,
I'm a Citadel Media affiliate with their Hot AC Music Format on WMRO-AM, Gallatin, TN., known as "Magic 1560". I support and I'm proud to be a part of Citadel. It appears to me at night, if some one at Citadel/Chicago had any brains, they would simulcast WLS-AM with WLS-FM at night. Let the AM talk all day, but when the sun goes down, The Big 89 would rule the airwaves with the Rock Oldies that we all grew up to. I don't care what some consultant says, it would make money.
WSM-AM has held on to the Grand Ole Opry, and it will never in our lifetime leave WSM-AM. The country music artist are making sure Gaylord keeps it that way. Now on the Rock side, it would only make sense at night to put the Rock back on WLS-AM and let it just float with the FM. Yes, it would have millions of listeners.
As far as advertiers, if they would just give it a chance, the nighttime will pay off for WLS-AM. All those Rock Songs all of us on the list listen to when WLS-AM was Rock, man it would pay off!
I guess it's just a dream, nobody is going to listen to this pee-on little AM station owner.

The WLS-AM C-Quam exciter is fed from an Omnia processor with 10 KHz LP and will
be good for 50 Hz to 9.5 KHz response. I like the idea of L+R feed for
redundant audio. Even if I disable the C-Quam I would leave L+R in place. The
original WLS-AM studios in the 80's were stereo and that has continued over the
years and has been treated as if it were a FM stereo station. For a time we
simulcast WLS-AM on FM sister station. It was just a matter of patch cords and
> we were good to go.
