[NU Sports] Cory Lidle Remembrance

[Roy Lamberton]

Of course our Radio Flagship, WGN, suffered a devastating loss when Bob Collins
crashed into a building north of Chicago while flying his plane after a mid-air
collision with a student pilot.

WGN's deep air staff made his replacement possible by moving Spike to the
mornings, but Chicago lost one of the great local AM Drive talk talents on that
afternoon.
