Walter Phillips (July 7, 1925 – March 26, 2008[1]) was an American radio personality best known for hosting WGN's morning radio show from Chicago for 21 years from January 1965 until July 1986, and was number one in the morning slot from 1968 until he left for an afternoon radio slot in 1986.[1]

A pioneer of the radio call-in talk show format,[2][3] Phillips delighted in a form now banned by the FCC: putting people on the air without their knowledge.[4]
