Roy Leonard was an icon on a radio station filled with icons....Wally Phillips, Bob Collins and Spike O' Dell. His Saturday shows were great and the ones he did during the holidays were teriffic. They made WGN the best station in the counrty. But with Spike leaving, the station's management has shut its door and pulled its plug. Its so unfortunate but WGN on air "talent" would come in second in a one radio station market.
