Take a behind-the-scenes look at two competing super stations and how Chicago's super jocks Dick Biondi, Clark Weber, and Ron Riley gave local bands their first musical break. When Biondi returned to the midnight to 5 a.m. slot at WCFL the Voice of Labor in October 1967, the competition between WLS and WCFL was heating up. Learn about Chicago's role in shaping music, broadcast, and pop culture as documentary filmmaker and radio historian Pamela Enzweiler-Pulice explores the golden age of personality radio.
