Chicago - A message from the station manager

Michael Jordan Had A TV Show

Planned Pro Golf Career After Basketball

“Michael Jordan’s Airwaves was a TV show that aired locally on WLS-TV in the Chicago area in 1989,” Rich Cutter writes on this YouTube upload.
“Local sports TV guy Jim Rose interviewed Michael Jordan in an ‘Oprah-style’ setup, and even tapped into the audience for some one-on-one questions.”



News reports from the time say that Jordan had a three-show deal with ABC7. Jordan also reportedly became a regular guest on Jim Rose’s Sports Final.
