Blagojeviches to Host Chicago Morning Radio Show
CHICAGO (AP) -- A Chicago radio station jokes it'll have a bleep button cued as former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his wife guest host a rush-hour morning show.

Both displayed an inclination for four-letter words on wiretaps played at the ousted governor's first corruption trial. His retrial starts next month.

Stations typically delay what's aired so producers can silence offensive language.
WLS-AM says the Blagojeviches will host the ``Don Wade and Roma'' show Wednesday from 5 to 9 a.m.

Patti Blagojevich is more quiet and has less experience behind a microphone. WLS says she'll be on for just an hour.

But a four-hour conversation shouldn't be a problem for her famously chatty husband. WLS president Michael Damsky calls Rod Blagojevich a ``Chicago character who gets people talking.''
