New Morning Man at WLS-FM

Steve Dahl is starting on Monday afternoon on WLS-AM (see video below), and now it appears a new disc jockey is joining the lineup at WLS-FM too, and he is starting on Monday too. His name is Jack Diamond. You may remember him from his one-week trial this summer. Details from the RAMP Newsletter...

"Jack's positivity, fun and endearing qualities match perfectly with our current morning lineup including air talent/meteorologist Brant Miller, Marty Jones with information/traffic updates and producer Dan Wolfe," said Jan Jeffries, who doubles as Cumulus SVP of Corporate/Programming and PD of WLS. "This will be the third radio tour for Jack and me working together, previously in Atlanta and Washington, DC. What seemed like a fun idea to have him sit-in on WLS FM mornings for a week this summer turned out to be a great idea. Welcome, Jack Diamond to 94-7 WLS!" Looking ahead to his upcoming Chicago adventure, Diamond said, "As a kid listening to the radio at night, WLS and WABC were the stations that sparked a desire to spend my life doing what those great personalities were doing from so many miles away. Pure magic. Hosting mornings at 94-7 WLS is not only a career dream-come-true, it brings my career full circle and is truly 'going home.' In a city with such great air talent through the years, it’s an honor to join them, past and present in Chicago.

Jack has worked everywhere, but his longest and most successful run was in Washington D.C. It appears that he's just being added to the lineup. No-one is being fired.
