Worth a Listen

From Tom Taylor's NOW column...

Steve Dahl sends off Chicago’s “Loop” this afternoon. He presided over WLUP’s inglorious “Disco Destruction” stunt at a White Sox game in 1979, and now he’s coming back to 97.9 for its send-off as a classic rock station. Merlin Media’s selling it to “K-Love” parent Educational Media Foundation, which re-directs it tomorrow to its not-for-profit contemporary Christian format. We’d thought that the days before that would be jockless. But heck, Dahl’s in the same building, doing PM drive at Cumulus-owned talk WLS/890. So he’ll apparently do that show on both 890 AM and 97.9 – and the tune-in should be something. As Dahl tweet, he’ll be “on the air before the prayer.”
