Don't forget John Records Landecker's "Cheap, Trashy Shobiz Report" and
"Can-I-Get-a-Witness News" in the afternoons on WLS...  These two bits
have to be the original Hard Copy/A Current Affair tabloid journalism
shows.

Who could forget all of the contests like the "WLS Fantastic Plastic
Card."  "...be the 15th caller at 591-8900 after the touchtone to win..."  

It seems like that was over a decade ago...   Wait a minute, that _was_ 
over a decade ago...  Oh my goodness, am I getting old???
