A few weeks ago when Eileen Byrne left WLS radio I wrote a post HERE about her. To date, it is the most commented on post by our readers ever, with over 100 comments, most very nice. One of the latest is by her friend and former WLS newsman, Cisco Cotto, now the morning drive time (5-9 AM) host with Big John Howell on WIND 560 AM Chicago. I just thought I might share Cisco's words with you here on the main page:
Thanks to everyone who has posted so many nice things here over the past few months. I've talked to Eileen several times and she's doing well. She's busy planning her wedding and after that she'll focus on her next move. Maybe it will be radio...maybe it will be working on a political campaign. Who knows? The important thing is her spirits are high and she is as optimistic as ever.
Also a special thanks to those of you who have given us a try at 560 AM WIND. It is still a work in progress, but we are having fun and trying to improve every day.
Eileen let us know she will be posting her own greeting in the next few days. Congrats Cisco Cotto and John Howell for a great new show on WIND also. I had the pleasure of meeting them a couple of weeks ago and they are every bit as fun and friendly in person as the show.
