	I know what you mean.  I look at the advertisments in the 
   newspaper and I almost regret getting my machine.  For the $1400 
   I paid for a 33MHz 386 last Spring, I could (now) get a faster 
   machine and/or a bigger hard drive.  Sigh.  Too bad car prices 
   aren't following the same pattern or I would have new wheels.

With all due respect, I think you are in the 3 share minority on
this one.  WLS would be sickly with or without those star hosts.  As for
Tom Snyder, he has had four years to make this thing work.  It's not as
if anyone besides Larry King and local talkers were giving him much
competition.  Snyder's time for brilliance was in the much simpler age
of television that was the pre-1980s.  ABC/Cap Cities squooshed him into
a much tighter format and it just didn't work.

Unlike a lot of people I think AM radio's got a lot of legs on it, and
GN and LUP are not the only two ways to do it.  But WLS has not found
*any* way to do it.  

I think maybe you and I would agree on this -- for the public good,
ABC and Cap Cities, divest!  Get WLS into the hands of creative people
who don't spend all day counting beans.

Subject: WLS-FM: Did they fire Greg Budell?
Organization: Northwestern University, Evanston Illinois.
Distribution: chi
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 1992 20:31:16 GMT

Did WLS-FM/AM fire their 7-9pm talk show host Greg Budell?  If so, what did
he say or do that got him fired?

Last week, I think it was Wed 8/5, I remember hearing him talk about the
Los Angeles decision to re-try the 4 cops.  Now Greg has pushed the line
on being "PC" when it comes to race issues (one show he did was about
how he felt threatened when he saw minorities wearing African style clothing),
so I could believe that he said something which got him fired.  But what did
he say?  Did the Sun-Times or Trib have a blurb about it?

Another reason why I think they fired him was because they were running
promos which mentioned his show ("And in the evening listen to Greg Budell
weekdays from 7-9pm"), and then they changed it to reflect their new
addition of carrying Deborah Norville live for the last 2 hours of her
show.  On a Wednesday he was there, and then on Thursday he wasn't.  If he
had quit, he would have at least finished out the week.  Plus its probably
awkward for WLS to be carrying only the last 2 hours of Norville's show
live from 7-9pm.

Best part is that Jake Hartford had to take over Greg's 8-11 Saturday night
shift.  So from 12-3am, the repeat a Rush Limbaugh show.

Post if you know why Greg was fired or why he is no longer on the air.
Maybe Doug Blair knows some gossip?

I sure do miss KGO and KCBS in San Francisco.  Two, that's right, two, talk
radio stations of high caliber in the same city. Local hosts (Jim Eason,
Ron Owens, Lee What's his name) plus Dr. Dean's show and Money Talk and one
funky late night show hosted by an old engineer who answers anyone's
science questions (and much much more). First thing I do when I visit is
turn the car radio on coming back from the airport.  Drives my friends and
relatives nuts.

I was happy to find WLS here, although I think they could have done with
less spouting of opinions by the hosts and more guests. Also, each host
should have had a more defined style or area of interest.  Not that you
have to confine yourself to one particular area. It's just if that you have
one person who focuses on local politics or gossip and another that likes
to focus on national issues, for example, you know when to listen and it
doesn't all sound the same.  Several times on WLS I tuned in to hear one
host discussing an issue that had already been discussed on an earlier show
or even two earlier shows. That's why I liked Catherine Johns, even if I
don't agree with her opinions.  She's got a well defined style and knows
when to switch topics. 

Anyway, I'm sad to see them go, despite my criticisms.  There really is no
other station in this area with a good talk format.  Inside Politics is
great of WBEZ, though.

Back in the old days Devry was known for grinding out tecnichians that were
competent and could be paid less than engineers.  I know a few people that
bombed out of college for one reason or another and did well at DeVry.  It was
not cheap and not accredited at any college.
