For the second summer in a row, WLS-AM/89 WLS is holding a
contest entitled "The Next 89 WLS Talk Star." According to
Chicagoland Radio & Media, the winner of the contest will gain their very
own live two-hour talk show on the radio station, among other prizes.
The station is looking for contestants to give quick
auditions, showing they can be the next great talk show host. The one grand
prize winner will gain the chance to host his/her own two-hour weekend talk
show on WLS-AM (date & time to be determined), studio headphones that they
can keep after their show, a limousine ride to and from their home to the
WLS-AM downtown studios, and a four-night vacation for two to Riviera Maya on
the Caribbean coastline of Mexico.
Just as with last year's contest, WLS-AM wants contestants
to create an audition that consists of a 10 second introduction and a monologue
of no longer than 90 seconds, for a maximum total time length of 100 seconds
(one minute, 40 seconds). Contestants must then submit that 100 second MP3 on
the WLS-AM website.
They are looking for newcomers only.
All entries will be judged by Cumulus Media Chicago
executives. Entries will be judged on voice quality, creativity, and overall
style. On August 7th, the judges will select their 10 semi-finalists, whose
entries will then be posted up on the WLS-AM website. Station listeners and
website visitors will then vote for their favorites. The five semi-finalists
with the most votes by August 16th will then move on to the finals.
