Bill Morton's company redirects to larger opportunities and creative endeavors
Bill Morton Promotions, formerly an independent radio promotion company based in Chicago, removed recording artist radio charting from their menu of services in 2009. The company has been promoting new music releases of all genres for a decade, starting in 2009, until 2019. For-profit services still offered by the company include marketing, advertising campaigns, social media management, and search engine optimization (SEO). Morton states that "Offers were coming in to direct marketing departments of wedding venues and entertainment centers.".
Creative endeavors
Bill Morton, in his own person, has created two Chicago-centric YouTube channels, tentatively titled Bill Morton Rogers Park, and Bill Morton Chicago. The channels are an authentic tour of daily life and history of Rogers Park Community Area 1, and the entire "City of Big Shoulders".
Mr. Morton is also a "Wizard" on WZRD Chicago, 88.3FM hosting his weekly freeform radio show on Sundays from 6AM - 9AM. Morton also co-produces the weekday WZRD News, which is an 8 minute news segment narrated by Trudy Leong and that includes musical accompaniment mixed by Bill Morton. Public service announcements produced by the duo are not only featured in the WZRD News and Sunday Morning Wizard show, but also aired throughout WZRD 24/7 terrestrial and streaming programming.
In 2019, Reverend Dr. Catherine Brown D'Tycoon awarded Chicago Aldermanic candidate Bill "Where there's a Will, there's Bill" Morton the Moving Harold Washington Agenda Forward Award. Shortly afterwards, D'Tycoon invited both Bill Morton and Trudy Leong to host her show Community Unity Now, which airs in three-month season rotations on CAN TV Chicago cable channel 21. Community Unity Now is a Live call-in interview show with guests which include community organizers, elected officials, and political candidates.
