Two changes occurred in the Chicago market today 11/26, both involving daytimers owned by Newsweb Corporation. WCPT "Chicago's Progressive Talk," formerly on the 850 kHz station CoL Crystal Lake IL, moved its format (liberal talk, mostly Air America) and calls to the 820 kHz station licensed to Willow Spring IL. The former calls on 820, WAIT, moved to 850. Gone from 820 is the "Relevant Radio" Catholic talk format. The lease agreement between Relevant Radio and Newsweb ran out on 11/25 and was not renewed (Relevant Radio recently purchased WNTD 950 Chicago and began carrying its programming on it M-F 5 AM-7 PM, SS the rest of the time). According to Robert Feder of the Chicago Sun Times, the new format on the new WAIT will be brokered programming, but today the only thing that WAIT was running was a continuous loop telling WCPT listeners to retune to 820. 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI
