The Chris Plante Show (OLD)

Every weekday morning from 9am – 11am CT, Chris Plante will have the inside word on the day’s top stories, what’s really important, and what it means to you.

Chris is a recovering member of the Washington media, having spent 17 years at CNN covering Breaking News and Pentagon and National Security issues. He knows who is who – and better yet, knows who to believe. His knowledge and experience – in and out of the DC circles, will help provide the right perspective of what’s going on.

Listen to The Chris Plante Show, 9am – 11am CT weekdays. THEN, stay tuned for Rush Limbaugh, once again, heard LIVE, 11am – 2pm CT weekdays on WLS-AM 890.

Upcoming Events

A Chicago Style Thanksgiving

A Chicago Style Thanksgiving

Join the WLS-AM morning show crew for a Thanksgiving lunch that’s pure Chicago! Ray Stevens and Nick Gale will be hosting a Chicago-Style Thanksgiving  at Augustino’s in Carol Stream… Italian beefs, Chicago dogs, and Italian sausage that knocks ya over—none of that tofu or kale nonsense, we’re talkin’ real Chicago food!

Ray will be  holdin’ court at the head of the table, crackin’ jokes about the latest political circus in Chicago and takin’ a stand for common sense values. 


WHEN: FRI 11/22

TIME: 12:00PM – 2:00PM

WHERE: Augustino’s Rock & Roll Deli and Grill 246 S Schmale Rd, Carol Stream, IL 60188           https://www.augustinos.com/


We will be talkin’ about freedom, faith, and good ol’ fashioned patriotism and don’t you worry, there’s no debate about whether ketchup belongs on a dog—Ray’s layin’ down the law: it’s mustard or bust. 

God Bless America and our WLS-AM listeners!

This is the Thanksgiving meal that we all need!
