Radio Ink asked three radio programming legends (John Sebastian, Lee Abrams, Fred Jacobs) to rank the top AOR stations of all-time. AOR stands for Album Oriented Rock--in other words, rock stations. Only one of three had any stations from Chicago on their list, and it wasn't Lee Abrams who once programmed the legendary Loop.
Sebasian had the Loop at #7. The other two said that no station in Chicago cracked the top 20. The on-line listener poll agreed.
Maybe I'm being a homer here, but that's a load of hooey. That's right, I said hooey.
