Find out when they actually found out they were coming to Chicago (crazy!), plus much more … the entire conversation is HERE.

Also, a B I G thanks, again, to you … US 99.5 has been nominated for the CMA Major Market Station of the Year!  The awards will take place in Nashville in November, and we couldn’t do any of it without you!

Enjoy this pea soup weather today, and we’ll chat soon.
