You won’t read much about music DJ’s here, as 80+% of the folks who traverse hyperspace and wind up here are looking for Rush Limbaugh and his ilk.
John Landecker is one of those names in Chicagoland that generates immediate recognition.

John Landecker was a DJ back in the days of WLS-AM before it switched to news/talk. He most recently has been working at WLS-FM, without a contract. In the words of H Ross Perot, it is stupid to write down anything in a contract, because all that happens is people can use it against you later. Such is the business vision of Cumulus Media. He has no plans to continue doing radio.
Cumulus revenue dropped 8.8% year over year for the second quarter. iHeart (Clear Channel) revenue was up. If they cut expense even more, the numbers will get even better!
