: Herb Kent has more years on Chicago radio. : : : 50 years on the radio in Chicago is quite an achievement.. is there anybody that even comes to that?? Clark Weber is the only other person who comes to mind.. : : : : : I very much enjoyed the Dick Biondi 50th show on WLS. Having grown up listening to him, since then I have found it interesting to hear and talk to others who also did in California. I�ve encountered one or two people who used to hang at the KRLA Pasadena back steps. One of them was a girl who eventually became an employee answereing phones during his program. She said he was the most amazingly accessible celebrity she�s ever even heard of. Each night there would be a coterie of a dozen or more kids on the steps, and Dick would be there for HOURS giving girlfriend/boyfriend advice, joking with them, and even helping some of them with homework (!) Such a nice guy like that who genuinely enjoys people, it�s no wonder when he called in chips he was able to have an all-star lineup calling in on his show and they for the most part seemed to be genuinely fond of him� : : : �except, who was that local WLS Citadel general manager he had on? He seemed to come off as a bit of a tool.
