CHICAGO'S "SUPERJOCK"
Larry Lujack began his radio career in the late 1950s as an 18-year-old disc jockey in Caldwell, Idaho. He worked at stations in Idaho as well as Spokane, San Bernardino, Seattle and Boston before arriving at WCFL in Chicago in 1967. For over 20 years, Lujack was the radio force in Chicago, splitting his career between top 40 rivals WCFL and WLS.

With a range of nicknames from “Lawrence of Chicago” to “Superjock” to “Uncle Lar,” Lujack’s signature sarcastic style, along with hugely popular features such as “Animal Stories” made him a legendary voice in radio and an inspiration to future broadcasters. His popularity was so enduring that he was convinced to return to the air 15 years after retiring, much to the excitement of the Chicago audience.
