Dave Fogel comes to WLS-FM

I must say I'm surprised by this move. WLS-FM, Chicago's Oldies station, has hired former Mix afternoon man Dave Fogel to be their new morning man.

Fogel had been working in Kansas City. (Robert Feder has all the details here)

WLS has obviously made a conscious decision to go a little younger. They could have hired a half dozen famous WLS jocks from the past (including my old boss John Records Landecker) but decided not to go that route.

I will say that I've heard many good things about Dave from people that worked with him in the past.
