WLS Channel 7 - AM Chicago - "Mike Royko" (Part 1, 1982)

Here's Part 1 of an episode of AM Chicago on WLS Channel 7 featuring famed sports reporter and anchor Tim Weigel as host (were they going through a different host each week at this point?). This was at the point when the show had been reduced to only a half-hour in length. The guest on this episode was legendary Chicago newspaper columnist and author, Mike Royko, who was 49 years old at the time. Includes:

No opening credits or theme song, although the show is complete - I guess they would sometimes omit it to save time in the later years?

Tim and Mike chat about politics and some controversies that Royko has stirred up recently and over the years.
