How long did WLS have the slogan "Chicago's #1 news?"

[ctmajka]

Well if you're including "The Chicago Area's Leading News" with that, then they've had it for close to 18 years now.

This video would be a talent rejoin.

[ctmajka]

Nope. This was the open back then before they had the Talent Rejoins.

I love the opening tune. I hope it never goes away

[DolphinCrossin]

I wanna hear that special segment....

[SongsJerome]

I'm homesick

[FaReaList]

They must've had the same intro for every abc 7 news, because when I was growing up in the San Francisco/Oakland area, they used this same tune.

Rob Johnson was such a hottie back then and still is! Ahhhh the 90s.

[eekoutasignal]

Oops, sorry; meant to vote that up. And yes, bad move letting Blanzy go.
