@abc7chicago: The end of an era comes crashing down in the suburbs on Monday. Chopper 7 was over the planned demolition of three giant radio towers in Downers Grove. Many considered them to be landmarks of the at 100-block of 39th Street. The tallest tower was 480 feet. The demolition marked the end of the transmitter site that was previously used for WCFL, WLUP AM and ESPN 100. However, they were not the original towers.
1932 to 2003 now 2003 to 2025 seems like a terrible lifespan on second tower

This is called lazy news reporting when the reporters don’t feel like doing anything over the weekend so this becomes the news I can think of 100 things in local media that could be news good or bad

Crashing just like terrestrial radio. 20 minutes of music, 40 minutes of commercials.

When I was a kid, I think there was a medevac helicopter that was flying into the structure and killing the pilot the patient and a paramedic.
