Dennis Miller to Visit Chicago; Talk Show Personality and Comedian to Host Live AM 560 WIND Event and Support `Rockin' for the Troops' Benefit

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Comedian and radio talk show host Dennis Miller pulls a triple-header in Chicago with AM 560 WIND on July 20-21. The Emmy-award winning "King of Rants" shares his unique topical and often acerbic brand of comedy during an intimate evening of conversation and audience interaction with AM 560 WIND listeners and fans on Friday July 20, at the Sofitel Chicago-O'Hare.

The following day, Miller makes a stop at the Cubs game where he will lead the crowd in singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch before heading to the 'Rockin' for the Troops' benefit concert at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. Miller will make a special appearance to support CSI:NY's Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band. Big John Howell, WIND morning co-host, will open for Sinise with his Born To Boogie Band.

"Chicago loves Dennis Miller," said Salem Chicago General Manager Dave Santrella. "His sharp wit and savvy humor really strike a chord with our listeners in the windy city. Besides being a big baseball fan, Dennis doesn't miss an opportunity to support our troops. So he's going to be here 'Rockin' for the Troops' with the rest of Chicago."

AM 560 WIND is one of several "All Star" sponsors for the 'Rockin' concert, the second of its kind organized and presented by Operation Support Our Troops Illinois, which has packed and shipped over 12,000 care packages to our troops oversees. Each $20 concert ticket purchase pays for one box of supplies. Tickets can be purchased at any Jewel Food store or by calling (800) 594-8499.

The Dennis Miller show can be heard on AM 560 WIND weekdays from 12-2 p.m. Free tickets to 'Dennis Miller LIVE at the Sofitel Chicago-O'Hare!' beginning at 7:30 p.m., July 20, are available to 500 WIND listeners by visiting http://560wind.townhall.com/.
