    I know Roy Leonard, Wally Phillips, & Bob Collins, but who was Bill?

    Bill Berg. Did the afternoon show. How come Milt Rosenberg didn't get a mention in these ads?

    Milt probably wasn't mentioned because he really wasn't mainstream enough to advertise for. He was on after the major dayparts and only appealed to a minority of the listeners. I loved his show though, especially when Carl Sagan or Cecil Adams were on.

    No need for past tense when it comes to Milt Rosenberg. He's still on WGN every night.

    "Hello, Wally? This big hand came right out of my radio speaker and dialed your number and told me to talk to you." WALLY: "Lady, you're a nutcase!"

    Remember that one. But remember the talking bird commerical better than they used thru most of the 80's. The Bird talk and "lip sync'ed" to the on air voices, then at the end laid down and turned into the hancock building or something. :')
