The monumental casinos and gambling-cum -family attractions were built on the "sure things" of millions of once-confident gamblers. However, since coming toI town to take over heritage Top 40 KLUC in 1985, Jerry Dean has been running the table in the city's radio game. The station has been at or near the top of the 12+ rankings for a few books now; currently it once again enjoys the view from the pinnacle. What's more remarkable about this feat is the fact that KLUC plays an Urban -skewed Top 40 format for a decidedly non -Urban population. And not only is KLUC kicking derriere 12+, but their 25-54 stats are good enough to impress even the most teen phobic advertiser.
