Timeline
The Illinois Senate adopted a resolution in his honor citing "his 50-year legendary broadcasting career". The Chicago City Council adopted a resolution in tribute to Mal Bellairs in 2014.
The Chicago Tribune reported on Mal's "semi-retirement" in 1992. The article quotes Chuck Schaden, Chicago radio history buff and host of ``Golden Age of Radio`` programs on WBBM-AM and WNIB-FM 97.1 saying "Mal Bellairs was, and still is, as far as I`m concerned, a giant in Chicago broadcasting."
In 1969 Mal and his wife Jo purchased WCLR radio in Crystal Lake, Illinois and changed the call letters to WIVS. They later purchased an FM station in Woodstock, Illinois and used the call letters WXRD. Subsequently, WIVS became WAIT (AM).
In 1955 Mal presented a Christmas Show that became a Chicago tradition. He did a Christmas Show every year after that, continuing at WBBM (AM) and then at his own station, WIVS. The recording of the Christmas Show that is available online was made from a live broadcast in 1997. A copy of the clearances for the playlist of the 1961 Christmas Show is in the National Archives.
Mal then spent most of the 1950s and 1960s at WBBM (AM) radio in Chicago Illinois. His history with WBBM is recounted in an oral history interview from 1987. Mal's contributions to WBBM were highlighted in a subsequent history of that radio station, WBBM Radio Yesterday & Today.
Mal's career in radio began at WCFL (AM) in Chicago in 1947. He left WCFL to do freelance radio and television in the Chicago market.
