I recently checked the website of WLS to get the DJ lineup for the Big 89 Rewind, and much to my surprise Bill Bailey's name popped up for the 3-6 PM slot. The rewind reunion is going to take place on Memorial Day. Does anyone out there have more info on this regarding Bill Bailey?

They may be talking about the Bill Bailey who came after the Duke...I learned of this other guy when I mistook him for OUR Bill Bailey a few years ago on another website. I went on and on about how big a hero of mine he was to which he replied "nice words, but you got the wrong guy".
Apparently when the Duke refused to do their formatted style and left, they hired this clown either by the same name or gave him that name and he was more than willing to be their puppet. With the way the Duke feels about that station and his present health, I simply cannot believe he would put forth the effort, but I could be wrong...
...after all after he arrived, he sent their ratings through the roof!

Just went to the WLS site myself...turns out the other Bill Bailey, who showed up in '72 was younger and is black! How's that for clarification? The Duke The Imposter ...yep-different guy

I heard the Duke on WLS. You wouldn't have known it was the same guy. Apparently he was only allowed to give the time, temp, and call. No free lance stuff. It just wasn't him, and I can understand why he couldn't wait to get back.
