Between the joke that is the "Walk of Fame" (and the associated ceremony) and the endless fawning over Tribune Tower (which they have now left) I've come to realize that nobody loves 720 WGN as much as 720 WGN. Yes, I know every radio station talks up how terrific they are, but WGN's on-air talent takes it to a new level of self-congratulating.
I love that they made their own Walk Of Fame which is a little like going down to the Trophy Shop and having them make you an award for yourself proclaiming that you're a wonderful person- it might make you feel special but it doesn't actually mean anything. And before someone says it, yes I know the station and talent have gotten several awards and accolades that actually matter and are well-deserved.
Yes, WGN has a long history as a popular news/talk radio station, and has had a lot of talent on air over the years, but all the pats on the back they give themselves get very old, very fast.
