WMCW WMCW (1600 AM) was a radio station licensed to Harvard, Illinois, United States. The station began broadcasting in 1955 and was originally owned by Esther Blodgett. The station was the first commercial radio station licensed in McHenry County, Illinois, and the first station in Illinois owned and operated by a woman. Esther Blodgett continued to own the station until 1979. During the 1990s it carried an Adult Contemporary format with Casey Kasem's American Top-20 on the weekends. The station also had a large amount of local news coverage. In 1999, the station was sold to WPW Broadcasting. The station aired a news talk format before switching to Adult Standards in early 2003, with the slogan "Your Music, Your Lifestyle, Your Station". In 2004 Kovas Communications bought the station.

Frank Joseph Davis Frank Joseph Davis (1942 - 2013) was a radio and television personality in New Orleans, Louisiana, distinguished by his tag line "Naturally N'Awlins" that concluded his on-air interviews. He served New Orleans television station WWL-TV and its radio affiliate WWL-AM, from 1974 until his health-related retirement in 2011. Davis's inaugural broadcast responsibility was a live sportsman's radio talk show, following a brief career with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. His journalistic style shifted to on-air featured stories and interviews as his subject matter expanded from fishing in southeast Louisiana to the New Orleans Mardi Gras and the cuisine of New Orleans. His outdoor sportsmen's reports tied together south Louisiana cuisine with the sport of fishing in a way that was said to be pioneering. Davis perennially covered Mardi Gras festivities for local television audiences from a St. Charles Avenue broadcast booth. His death was due to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, a rare autoimmune disease.
