Reminds me of long car rides during Christmas and thanksgiving with my family. Being half asleep in the back seat hearing my parents listening to this. The memories 🥰
@@williamludwig7291 That new one is AWFUL! It sounds like a broken Christmas display from K-Mart, My station (1190 WOWO) still uses the old one for our ident.
Smh I moved to Nevada and I fucking miss Chicago a lot I miss that tune when it was snowing hard asf and me and my dad were inside the car listening to this radio station aahhh the memories fuck Nevada I miss you Chicago!!!
UPDATE - I found the "News Radio 78" version on a different RUclips clip. I guess they changed it from 78 to 780 at some point. In the clip they said the date (Dec 27, 1985).
@@marklemmert6840 I think it was when digital readouts became standard that stations started giving the same number you'd see on that readout, so 780 instead of 78. I think the "78" jingle was snappier. Right after CBS News on the hour, you'd hear those two rim shots and then "WBBM-A...M........Newsradio 78.....
@@ScottKnitter Thanks for the reply! That makes total since - it would have been 78 on the dial and 780 on the digital display. I agree, I liked the 78 jingle better. I remember it just as you describe it :-)

Oh the nostalgia from being at my grandparents house
Reminds me of listening to Bears pre/post game on the way to/from Soldier Field.
Great sounder package....Audacy: *Do Not Break Things That Works and Sounds Great!*
I thought I was the only one who noticed the change in their sound package! I cant stand the new one.

My dad used to fall asleep to this every night 😢

You can get Audacy for free and listen to wbbm
This is my favorite radio station. I listen to WBBM almost all the time. People look at me like I'm crazy, but you need to keep up with News nowadays
For sure! I love that they just tell the news and don't add opinions and bias like other sources, especially TV news companies.
THANK YOU
This reminds me back in 2007-2014 when I was very young going to Chicago to see family members during Thanksgiving or going to see a Sox game
Yep. feels like home. :,)
Better than the current one.
Can someone PLEASE post the traffic update jingle?
this is so good.
I remember this as a kid, but in my memory it was "New Radio 78" and in this clip they said "News Radio 780". Does anyone else remember it as 78?

Do you by chance have the old top of the hour bell chime?
Didn't know they changed it. I recorded their coverage of the 2016 Cubs World Series so I'll check that for the top of the hour bell.
@@JohnBilkey That would be AMAZING! I really miss the old sound package they had.
That's not the full jingle. :/
What happened to 96.3?
WBBM-FM / "B96" is still on the air at 96.3. WBBM NewsRadio broadcasts as WCFS-FM on 105.9.
@@JohnBilkeywhat if WBBM-FM Became a simulcast of WBBM and became WBBM B96-78
