As a teenager in northern MN in the '60s I regularly went to sleep listening to WLS Chicago, which came in loud and clear at night.

My recollection was that they promoted the "new Beatles 45!!" for several days, and I eagerly anticipated hearing it.

When they finally introduced the world to "Revolution" and "Hey Jude", I recall thinking "Really? That's it?"

As a huge Beatles fan, I never understood the mass appeal of that record.

WLS also came in crystal clear in the Florida Panhandle back then.

Only at night tho. In the daytime we listened to WBAM the Big Bam in Montgomery, Alabama.

I listened to WLS, too - down here in Dallas! Only at night and the weather had to be right. 1967-69 time frame. It would be interesting to see how many of us listened to WLS and where we were located.

One morning in 2008, my favorite oldie station had suddenly gone Country. First student into my classroom hit the wall and angrily hollered they’d taken off his radio station. Couldn’t believe so many teens listened to oldies.
