Here's a commercial for WYEN FM 107 ("Request Radio," licensed to neighboring Des Plaines - and today Spanish-language WPPN, "Amor 106.7"), featuring snippets of such tracks as "No Tell Lover" by Chicago, "Last Time I Saw Him" by Diana Ross, "Forever In Blue Jeans" by Neil Diamond, and "Too Much Heaven" by the Bee Gees.

The "Request Radio" slogan referred to the station playing music requested by listeners.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

I thought I recognized the jingle in this one. It's from TM's "Image '73" (originally for New York's 66 WNBC).
