WGN FM?

Robert Feder has a big scoop today. WGN has gained control of an FM frequency and will be airing a full line up beginning on Monday.

I guess it's only appropriate that the former Loop guys (Jimmy deCastro and Larry Wert) have found a loophole. They aren't legally allowed to own an FM until they sell the newspaper, but Robert Feder explains in his column how they managed to finesse that.

Chicagolandradio & Media has some more info on the new WGN. It will be "sports based" according to site moderator Larz.
