[IRCA] Chicago Changes

[DXERak@xxxxxxx]

Two changes occurred in the Chicago market today 11/26, both involving  
daytimers owned by Newsweb Corporation. WCPT "Chicago's Progressive Talk,"  
formerly on the 850 kHz station CoL Crystal Lake IL, moved its format (liberal  talk, 
mostly Air America) and calls to the 820 kHz station licensed to Willow  
Spring IL. The former calls on 820, WAIT, moved to 850. Gone from 820  is the 
"Relevant Radio" Catholic talk format. The lease agreement between  Relevant Radio 
and Newsweb ran out on 11/25 and was not renewed (Relevant Radio  recently 
purchased WNTD 950 Chicago and began carrying its programming on it M-F  5 AM-7 
PM, SS the rest of the time). According to Robert Feder of the  Chicago Sun 
Times, the new format on the new WAIT will be brokered programming,  but today 
the only thing that WAIT was running was a continuous  loop telling WCPT 
listeners to retune to 820.
