==History==
North was raised in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood and attended Senn High School from 1967-1970 before dropping out to work for the Chicago Park District. In 1971 he was drafted to join the US Army, completing basic training at Ft. Polk, Louisiana.
In the late 1970s, North and his wife, BeBe, bought their first hot dog stand. They established Be-Be's Hot Dogs in 1984. Among North's frequent customers at his restaurant was the staff of Diamond Broadcasting, owners of WXRT-FM and WSBC-AM. After North suggested to them that he take the place for vacationing Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Verdi as the host of a short sports segment on WXRT, North's contacts at Diamond suggested he lease time on WSBC if he was interested in pursuing a career in radio. North took their advice and launched the "NFL Handicap Show" on WSBC in 1990.〔http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/money-where-his-mouth-is/Content?oid=895834〕
After the Diamond Broadcasting team purchased WSCR in 1992, North was hired to become one of the station's original personalities, teaming with Dan Jiggetts on The Monsters of the Midday show (a twist on the popular Chicago term, Monsters of the Midway),(). The two were reunited for a one year stint on cable television in 2009.()
