WGN-AM Radio Boss Jimmy de Castro Sounds Off

Jimmy de Castro
Jimmy de Castro, President and General Manager of WGN 720 AM, is the fast-talking, f-bomb-dropping radio impresario — who helmed WLUP 97.9 FM FM “the Loop” during its 1980s heyday — made a vast fortune when he sold his company, AM/FM, Inc., to Clear Channel Communications in 2000.

But while these days he’s shedding material possessions (and would like to shed some weight), his drive to succeed and passion for people haven’t waned.

de Castro:  "I’m not spending a nickel [at WGN]. All the people writing that I’m spending all this money have no f—— idea what they’re talking about. None."
