There has been a noticeable on-air change at Hubbard Radio's WILV (Chicago's 100.3)/Chicago as afternoon personality Jane Monzures exits after a six-month run. She has been replaced by market vet Cara Carriveau (pictured), who slides up from nights. As usual, these moves were first noticed by Chicago media maven Robert Feder and chronicled in his blog. RAMP hit up WILV PD Marty Bender for confirmation. He shared a staff memo, which read, in part, "Jane is a wonderful person and a great talent and we wish her continued ongoing success in her many media and philanthropic endeavors." Monzures is best known for her many years of service across the street at WLUP (The Loop). She was hired by WILV in January of this year to replace Brian Middleton. Bender's memo continues, "Beginning today, we welcome our evening hostess and Chicago radio superstar Cara Carriveau to the 2-7pm drive slot at Chicago's 100.3. Nights will be handled by fill-in hosts until we post the opening and look for our new night star."
I just interviewed Cara for the Illinois Entertainer a few months ago. That interview is here.
Cara has also previously interviewed me for her podcast (seven years ago now) about my first two books...(You can listen to that interview here)
