Thank you, WLUW! I came to WLUW Radio in the fall of 1998 and fell in love with its mission of serving the Chicago community. Over the years I had incredible opportunities to be a part of Chicago-centric programming that made a difference. Thank you to WLUW and thank you for listening. WGN Radio, here we come! The show will continue to be posted on this site each week and if you’re already subscribed to the show’s feed, you’ll stay subscribed. Of course, if you’re up between 6-7am on Saturdays starting October 4th, tune into 720-AM! The best is yet to come… –MS OTL #415 local music provided by Kerosene Stars…
