Big Changes at Chicago's WXRT, 93.1 FM

This is one of the three main radio stations I listen to in Chicago.  Most every morning, I start with the Morning Show, hosted by Lin Brehmer and, until a few weeks ago, Mary Dixon with the news and essentially a co-host.  But the station dropped its morning news and she is now with another station, sadly.

Now, in a few weeks, Lin will be flipping time slots to 10-2:30 pm with Richard Milne.  Lin Brehmer played a lot of music while being somewhat talkative.  One of my problems with most morning shows is too much talk.  I need my music to get me going in the morning.

Plus, not too long ago, Terri Hemmmert retired from the midday job, but still comes back on Sundays to do her Breakfast With the Beatles show.  Sadly, on that one, Professor Moptop has reached the end of his informative segments on the history of the Beatles.  Hopefully they will start re-airing his reruns.

And, today (and last Wednesday) the station is playing all day with no commercial breaks.  I appreciate that, but, hey, over-the-air stations have to have a revenue stream and this doesn't do anything for that important aspect.  So give it a listen today on www.wxrt.com.
