Steve Day with your traffic
« on: June 07, 2009, 11:10:20 PM »
while driving in... um, rephrase...  While stuck doing literally 5 mph from the O'Hare toll plaza on the Kennedy to my exit an hour later, I decided to flip on WBBM 780  to check the traffic and I hear "with traffic here's Steve Day...".  Sure sounded like the same one from "Just Men" and "Caesar's Challenge".  I'm a visitor from Minneapolis, any Chicagoan hear him before and verify it's him?

If it is, he must have recently started working there. WBBM's staff page doesn't mention him.

That's news to me. Then again I was on the wrong AM station this afternoon.

If you'd like, I can ask him when he takes over from me on Tuesday night...

And I will say that if it's not him, damn, the voices are close.

Maybe this helps?

It lists him as being in Chicago and the demo has a Caesar's Challenge snippet

There's a pic there so maybe you can ID him Sodboy.....

Glad the mystery is solved!

Now, let's all find ways you can work the phrase "Caesar Says Stop!" into a conversation with him :p

Interesting to find so many 'BBM people here!  I anchored overnights for a while (1998-99).

Wow, I didn't know there were so many 'BBM staffers on here.

Anyone from Metro Networks?

My Dad worked at WBBM Newsradio 78 and WBBM CBS2 for a Loooong time.
I guess that's part of the reason I'm in TV now (He's retired now)...

BTW, ready for this Chicago?  Left my cell on a red line train.  Kissed it good-bye and went to Verizon to buy a new one.  2 hours later my friends phone rings, it's the guy who found my phone and wanted to get it back to me.

CHICOGANS RULE!
