WGN-AM/Chicago to Air Dusty Rhodes Christmas Specials

WGN-AM/Chicago

WGN-AM/Chicago has announced that the traditional Dusty Rhodes Christmas Specials will be heard on the station for the first time, starting December 23 at 11pm through December 25 at 10pm. The specials will be presented commercial-free from 6pm Christmas Eve through 10pm Christmas Day.

The Dusty Rhodes programs began with a Christmas Eve show in 1961 on WSAI in Cincinnati and quickly became a holiday tradition there. Over the years, it expanded to 36 hours and went national in 1995, airing on over 100 radio stations coast-to-coast.

"The presentation is based on the traditional Christmas celebration to accompany families as they travel to visit relatives, go to church services, open presents and enjoy holiday parties," said longtime Cincinnati radio personality Dusty Rhodes. "I'm delighted to bring the programs to WGN Radio, one of America's great radio stations."
