Steve Dahl, who I more or less grew up listening to (which explains a lot) is still alive and kicking in Chicago. He's been the afternoon drive jock at WCKG FM for years and I often pull down his podcasts as a nice way to keep in touch with the homeland.He's a radio innovator who was 'podcasting' before it was even called that.
Heck, I even learned what a vasectomy was when he had one on the air when I was in grade school!
Over the years, despite changing conditions and unlike the rest of his cohort, Dahl has remained relevant. In the latest Arbitron book, he was barely edged out by the Hispanic station for the top spot among men 25-54.
He's also a columnist at the Chicago Tribune.
Well, if you believe Bob Feder's column, the Stever is ready to head over to the formerly-oldies station 104.3, which is now the Jack-FM format to cover the morning drive. Dahl would be the only human jock on the air.
There's no mention of this over at his site. Questions remain, of course, if just Buzz Kilman will go over with him, or if this shuffle would allow the Garry Meier reunion that many of us have been waiting for.
