Last week, management at WLBK WSQR made the difficult decision to end the WLBK morning show—a change that has sadly led to the departure of some truly dedicated team members.

We deeply appreciate their contributions and understand the personal impact this decision has on them. This move was not made lightly but was driven by ongoing financial challenges.

While our traditional morning show is ending, we remain committed to our listeners and to the DeKalb community. We are transitioning to a music-centered morning show that still provides daily sports, weather, and local news.

At DeKalb County Broadcasters, our goal has always been to offer a high-quality, engaging experience for everyone. We thank you for your support during this time of change and encourage you to join us in embracing this new chapter.

Leaders in Illinois are reacting to former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s guilty verdict. The announcement by federal prosecutors said Madigan is guilty on ten out of 23 charges. The federal jury reached a partial verdict on 17 counts. They could NOT reach a consensus on 12 others. The jury did NOT reach a verdict on any of the counts against co-defendant Michael McClain. Governor Pritzker said -the Madigan verdict sends an important message that if someone chooses corruption, they will be found out and punished. Local state Rep Jeff Keicher said…“Although Speaker Madigan was found guilty, much work remains to be done to end the culture of corruption in Illinois,”. Another local rep Sue Rezin said “Michael Madigan spent decades building and protecting a corrupt political machine that put personal and political gain ahead of taxpayers. His conviction is a step toward accountability, but the system that allowed his abuse of power remains in place.

A federal jury has found former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan guilty on 10 of 23 corruption counts. But Capitol News reports jurors acquitted the former speaker on seven other charges and deadlocked on six more – including an overarching racketeering charge. The jury also deadlocked on those same six charges alleged against Madigan’s co-defendant, longtime Springfield lobbyist Mike McClain, who described himself on wiretapped calls as the speaker’s “agent.” Prosecutors said they have not yet determined whether they’ll retry Madigan and McClain on the deadlocked charges. The judge declared a mistrial on those six counts. The verdict marks the end of a four-month trial process...four years after Madigan resigned from the seat he’d held for five decades...and three years after he was charged.
