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
- WMMS 100.7 FM "The Buzzard" in Cleveland, Ohio
- KOTK Hot Talk 1080AM (now KFXX 1080 The Fan) in Portland, Oregon

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
