  • Best morning show in Chicago

    I genuinely laugh out loud with Brian, Kenzie and Case every morning, and even rewind moments to laugh again. The 3 of them have such a great dynamic, each playing a unique and necessary part. Chicago needed this trio. Best morning show by far. Thank you so much.

    Big fan of these three! I can’t imagine how much prep work goes into the show, but it shows each and every weekday. I enjoy the charades, trivia, Karen excerpt and most everything else. Brian, Ally and Justin complement each other very well. I never know what to expect from these three, which is why I enjoy listening to them. Brian and Justin are funny when they banter. Ally is a clever sweetheart that brings this group together.

  • Chicago’s Best Morning Show

    I come for the Know It Ali and stay for the laughs. This is by far the best morning show in Chicago. I look forward to starting my day with Brian Ali and Justin and miss it when I can’t get my fix. I guess it’s kind of like crack that way…Ahoy!
