Beginning June 15th, the city of Chicago will hear a familiar voice on their airwaves on a permanent basis as veteran radio host Steve Cochran is officially joining Cumulus Media's WLS-AM. Cochran will host the morning show called "The Steve Cochran Show," on weekdays from 5:30 am to 9 am.
"I'm delighted to welcome Steve to our team, where I know he will bring his wisdom, wit, and political prowess to morning drive," WLS-AM Program Director Stephanie Tichenor said, per Radio Online.
"Our listeners need a place to feel safe to express their opinions while having a destination for entertainment, news, and, of course, conservative conversation. Steve will provide that for our Chicagoland audience. I'm looking forward to growing 890 with Steve Cochran in the mornings."
Cochran's most recent job in the city was over at rival WGN-AM, where he was also a morning host since 2013 and has served as a fill-in host for the open time slot on WLS. He's previously worked mornings in other markets such as Miami, Baltimore, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and New York.
"Like thousands of others, I did my homework listening to The Big 89 WLS when I was a kid," added Cochran. "It's an honor to say those call letters, and I can't wait to get started."
