After a decade at WLS, Art Roberts moved to cross-town rival WCFL.

"The Cool Uncle" came to the Voice of Labour in June 1971 ironically to replace another WLS alumnus, Clark Weber.

Roberts enjoyed a radio career of four-and-a-half decades, from his first gig at KALT in Atlanta, Texas in 1953, to his final stop at KGVM Reno, Nevada in 1998. He suffered a stroke in 1999, and died three years later at the age of 70.
