[NU Sports] mostly off-topie political thread

[Michael Vance]

You're right, Tom.  Not quite as good, but for the most part, corporate 
parent CBS has left them alone, format-wise.  They still play anything 
that could remotely be categorized as rock, with a healthy dose of blues 
and a bit of jazz thrown in.  Richard Milne still does Local Anesthetic, 
highlighting Chicago-area bands.  In addition to Terri Hemmert, Lin 
Brehmer, Frank E. Lee, Tom Marker, Mary Dixon, Marty Lennartz, and Wendy 
Rice (still doing Saturday Morning Flashback, one of the greatest 
regular radio shows ever) are all still around.
