Sears Silvertone table radio

Hi Scott,

I know it’s redundant, but thanks for putting together a great website. My early WLS radio listening days go back to 1964 when I was 9 years old, listening to my mother’s Sears Silvertone table radio on the kitchen counter. At 6:15 or so, I would stop whatever I was doing to hear the day’s countdown to the number one song before “News-Scope” would come on at 6:30. My parents got tired of hearing “rock & roll” music competing with their TV watching and finally got me my first transistor radio, a Ross RE-777 Jubilee, which I still have. I now collect transistor radios and have well over 400 so I guess you could say my collection was inspired by WLS!
