Big Change at WGN Radio



From Radio Insight, moments ago...

Tribune News/Talk 720 WGN Chicago is bumping midday host Mike McConnell from its on-air schedule.

McConnell, who had been hosting from 10am to 3pm, will now be heard on WGN’s WGN2 online stream. The station is currently listing the daypart as “WGN Daytime” with various hosts. The station has yet to set a timeslot for their addition of Bob Sirott and Marianne Murciano.

McConnell joined WGN in August 2010 after spending 25 years at WLW Cincinnati, along with a brief run in syndication.

This wasn't unexpected. I hear McConnell is a very nice guy. He just didn't fit at WGN.
