Evidence note (master store)

Owner Nexstar Media Group's release boilerplate states: 'For more than 100 years, WGN Radio AM 720, a Nexstar Media Group, Inc. station, has been dedicated to being the #1 source of Chicagoland news, information, entertainment, and sports' (fetched in full 2026-10-17). The stored 'since 1924' date is not covered by this stamp — the source supports only 'more than 100 years' — while the AM 720 frequency behind the stored alias 'WGN 720' is covered.
