New US99 Night Jock

From this morning's RAMP Newsletter...

After a six-planet search, CBS Radio Country WUSN (US99.5)/Chicago has procured its new live night jock, as PD Jeff Kapugi introduces Joel Lisinski. As we recently reported, US99.5 APD/MD Marci Braun had been tracking the night shift, but will now track the overnight show. Lisinski, a Chicago native, most recently worked for Entercom Milwaukee at Top 40 WXSS (103.7 Kiss FM) and Hot AC WMYX (99.1 The Mix). He previously worked at NextMedia Hot AC WXLC/Waukegan, IL. "I'm thrilled to come home to Chicago and work with Jeff and the amazing team at US99.5," said Lisinski, who makes his US99.5 debut during the week of Nov. 4. "I am truly humbled to have such a great opportunity at this legendary station." According to Kapugi, "We are still working on an air name for Joel... suggestions welcomed."

I have a suggestion for an air name. How about Joel Lisinski? It is Chicago, after all. I think we can handle a Polish last name. There's no need to Billy Bob it up for us.
