I was the Chief Engineer that transferred the station to Mike McCarthy’s group when they bought these stations. Due to far off transmitters such as Dakalb IL and one in Kankakee. I was happy to get rid of these stations. I don’t think they were positioned correctly for the type of music they were playing- an error in market selection.. The Studio was across the hall from the main FM station known as WLEY. This transmitter was on the WBBM property. As far as I know the WLEY is still operating from the 10th floor of the Smufit Stone building under Chief Engineer John Robson.
