Editing WLS (AM) (section)

===Summary===
Founded in 1924 by [[Sears, Roebuck and Company]]—with the [[call sign]] an abbreviation for Sears' "World's Largest Store" slogan—WLS spent its early years as the radio outlet of the ''[[Prairie Farmer]]'' magazine. From 1928 until 1954, WLS shared their assigned frequency and overall broadcast operations with [[Blue Network]]-owned [[WENR (Chicago)|WENR]] until the Blue Network's successor, the [[American Broadcasting Company]], merged WENR into WLS and eventually purchased it outright. The station's [[contemporary hit radio]] era from 1960 until 1989 saw WLS at a creative and ratings pinnacle headlined by personalities [[Dick Biondi]], [[Larry Lujack]], [[John Records Landecker]] and [[Bob Sirott]]. Since 1989, WLS has been a full-time talk radio outlet.
