Child announcer with many, many IDs and very short snippets of music.  Sometimes a second child's voice, too.

Just heard the end of it. ID WJAK, sounded like a young kid. Kept saying they were going to play some really cool music and "hang in there". Signed off with a 73. at 0119.

Good signal here, typically around S8.

Kid DJ named Rick (or Mick) Jagger hosting fast-paced show.  Several mx clips including "Killing Me Softly", "Brandy".  Ment "folks out there, this is Rick Jagger on WJAK.  It's March 12."  At one point sounded like a WCFL ID in the background.  Final song "Me & Mrs Jones" before a ment of "1972".  0119 off.

Hilarious!  Thanks!
Your QSL would be appreciated.
