History
Liz Wilde (whom some have called "the best female radio DJ ever") started her career in the early 1980s in Key West, Fl, quickly making a name for herself in the industry. She moved her show to the Boston Market taking over the night shift of legendary rock station WAAF-FM in Boston, Massachusetts, later moving to afternoon drive-time with great success from 1990-1995. With her ratings success in Boston, Wilde moved to WLUP in Chicago, Illinois in March 1995. Her show aired in the morning drive-time slot from 6am-10am on WPLL in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She moved on to rock-and-roll pioneering station WMMS 100.7 FM in Cleveland, Ohio. Her show also aired on KLLI in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas market, and most recently on WRXK in Ft. Myers, Florida from November 2004 until March 2006.
At the pinnacle of the Liz Wilde Show's popularity, the show was nationally syndicated on over 34 radio stations in 2001 by radio company Fisher Entertainment. The company dropped the show after selling its Portland, Oregon stations KOTK and KWJJ to Entercom Communications, and merging the Fisher Entertainment division and other Fisher subsidiaries into the main company Fisher Communications.
The Liz Wilde Show aired on numerous stations including:
- WLUP 97.9FM The Loop in Chicago, Illinois
- WINZ SuperTalk 940AM, WSHE 103.5FM later rebranded WPLL 103.5 Planet Radio (now WSHE-FM 103.5 the Beat) all serving the Miami/Fort Lauderdale market in Florida

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
