<\/a> Chuck Schaden on WLTD (1974)<\/p><\/div>\n

As Chicago\u2019s preeminent broadcast historian, Chuck Schaden brought listeners back to the golden age of radio every Saturday afternoon for four decades. Now he\u2019s taking a nostalgic journey of his own.<\/p>\n

On Friday Schaden will join afternoon host Milt Rosenberg as a guest from 4 to 6 p.m. on Kovas Communications news\/talk\u00a0WCGO AM 1590.<\/a>\u00a0They\u2019ll be in the same Evanston studio and on the same frequency where Schaden started \u201cThose Were the Days\u201d <\/a>in 1970.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll find out if you can<\/em> go home again,\u201d Schaden said.<\/p>\n

Eager to share his vast collection of old-time radio shows, Schaden launched\u00a0\u201cThose Were the Days\u201d\u00a0on May 2, 1970, on what was then WNMP. The call letters changed soon afterward to WLTD and later to WONX. Since 2009 they\u2019ve been WCGO.<\/p>\n

In 1990, Schaden compiled a\u00a0fascinating history<\/a>\u00a0of the north suburban station for his Nostalgia Digest, which is still accessible on the website he maintains at speakingofradio.com.<\/a> His online archive also includes a 1993\u00a0on-air reunion<\/a>\u00a0of many of the people who worked with Schaden at 1590 in the early '70s.<\/p>\n

Schaden, 81, who was inducted in the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1993, retired in 2009. But the great weekly show he started is still going strong.<\/p>\n

Now in its 45th year, \u201cThose Were the Days\u201d is hosted and produced by Steve Darnall from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturdays on College of DuPage\u2019s\u00a0WDCB FM 90.9<\/a>\u00a0and on\u00a0wdcb.org.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
