There was a big shake up at WLS at the start of April, 1970. Buell and Stevens continue "back to back" at night, but Joel Sebastian comes over from WCFL to take the 10 AM - 2 PM slot at the Big 89, moving Art Roberts from that time to 6 - 10 AM morning drive time.
Here are a few photos for the new slot members mentioned above.
Also,
BEFORE Larry Lujack was "Uncle Lar," he was short lived MOTHER Lujack
to his kids, Chuck Buell and Kris Stevens.
BTW, 1970 newcomer,
Bill Bailey, a surprise transplant from WKLO Louisville, had quite a different
style and started in January in the 6-10 AM slot, soon to be shelved to the 9
PM - 1 AM slot, moving Art from there to 6 AM drive time. Eventually,
Lujack would take over the 6 AM slot in October, 1970, with Scotty Brink coming
to take Lujack's afternoon drive for a short time. And the wheels on the
bus go round and round. Lujack went back to WCFL two years later.
This last pic is of the
young "peace-niks," Buell and Stevens, with a nice penciled in
sketch! I got this survey in a batch of ones years ago that someone liked
to scribble on and thought Chuck might like this! I used to doodle in
high school like this, but this is NOT my drawing, promise!
