| WGN-AM/Chicago: WGN is celebrating its 100th anniversary as the 50,000-watt voice of "Chicago's Very Own" during May and throughout all of 2022. The station traces its origins back to May 19, 1922, when Thorne Donnelley and Elliott Jenkins started broadcasting from the Wrigley Building with their experimental station named WDAP. In 1924, the station acquired new call letters WGN and a new owner, Col. Robert McCormick, editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune. |
