none The hotel was razed in 1976 and the WMAQ transmitter left its roof after the radio station moved to new facilities at the Chicago Daily News building in 1928. At the same time, a transmitter was built in Elmhurst, Illinois, which served the station until 1935, when it was abandoned for KYW's transmitter in Bloomingdale, Illinois, when that station moved to Philadelphia because of a re-alignment in radio clear channels. This helps portray early radio broadcasting in Chicago. Modern transmitter sites for AM radio are mainly situated further from the city limits, particularly if they are powerful. All those on clear channel frequencies (AM 670, 720, 780, 890, 1000) presently have transmitters situated in Chicago's suburbs. At this time, I don't know of a free use photo of the La Salle Hotel with the station transmitter atop it. |
