Fred Winston doesn’t skip a beat and he sounds like he just picked up where he left off during the MusicRadio years at WLS!

Somewhere below the cellar is Fred Winston’s voice. His on air charm and sense of humor are natural talents. Its Ratings Day and Winston tells Newsman John Priester he brought all three of his listeners from the World’s Largest Stockpile, er, WLS- which he couldn’t mention on Majic 104.
