WLS = "World's Largest Store" = Sears, started the station 1924, 
immediately started the Sat. night show, sold the station to "Prairie 
Farmer" magazine after a few years. In its heyday NBD sold out three 
shows every Sat. in Chicago, was heard all over the northern Midwest and 
into Canada, later nationally via a network feed. Their stable of 
artists at times included 100 performers, with a wide repertoire ranging 
from Southern mountain ballads to pop songs - they were never too 
restrictive about content.
