Here is the first, that I can remember, actual on-air Steve & Garry clash with station management at WLS. This was even prior to the Steve & Garry/Larry Lujak clash (more to come on that!) In 1983 Steve & Garry were still fairly new to the station after having been 'released' from The Loop (Feb. 81) for supposedly "continually assaulting community standards" even though no one ever actually said specifically what that meant (for that matter that's how they got the damn ratings, being edgy and different!)

The clip starts with Steve & Garry talking about the disagreement from the day before, then they play a tape of Larry Lujak talking about what happened and reading an article from the newspaper about it (Gary Deeb was a well-known media critic in Chicago at the time.)

This is a partial clip because it's all I have from this day (for whatever reason) but if anyone else out there has more please drop me a line. Thanks for listening.
