Roe Conn was the only show I could handle on that station without having 
my intelligence insulted.  When Roe and his sidekick started to cater 
their show to the stupid I switched to Garry Meier.  Garry has upped his 
game over the years on his own and is quite funny now.  Unfortunately, 
other than Meier and Milt Rosenberg, WGN also caters to imbeciles, but a 
different kind of imbecile than those who listen to WLS.

I don't understand that with all the different stations in Chicago why 
there is such a dearth of comedy shows like Meier's on the radio.

I like Meier's opening segment leading in to Skilling, the rest of the
show can wander sometimes.
When Dahl joins Conn a couple shows per month its funny. Their segment
on the Vegas guy with "sack issues" was classic.

When they stick to comedy Conn can be funny and he knows quite a bit 
about local Chicago politics and its history and can make that funny 
too.  His coverage of the Blago and Ryan trials should have won him some 
award because he got all kinds of great analysis from various guests and 
it was the go to place for up to date info on those trials.  I like Mike 
Monaco and the segments with Ron Magers.  

Conn goes off the rails for me when he delves into national issues and 
waxes authoritative about things he doesn't understand himself.  When he 
talks up my field, technology, and the so called "cyberwar" I find it 
quite striking how ignorant he is and still able to present an air of 
expertise that probably fools the vast majority of his listeners who 
don't understand technology either.  It's much like how flim flam men 
operate.

The final straw for me was his daily drum beat for war with Iran.  I 
remember how this same BS started with Iraq years before the actual 
invasion and I find hearing the same bamboozle again without rebuttal 
rather depressing.  So its that Meiers guy for me now.   Meier sometimes 
likes to let the strangest callers on to spew their minds and half of 
them seem to be drunk or on some kind of medication or both.  Quite 
funny sometimes.  He even plays walking off music when his callers start 
rambling.
