At the current #1 Arbitron rated station in Chicago, I'd have to agree with that being a pretty sweet gig.
(It would be irregardless of the ratings, from a historical point of view.)

Ironically, one of his first duties would have been to turn off the transmitter 
(I don't recall if anyone posted about that maintenance work in Chicago a week or two ago, where WGN, WSCR, and WBBM were all off the air for a couple of hours. Unfortunately, atmospherics stank, wiping out a golden opportunity for West Coast DX.)
