Leslie Keiling out at WGN

Robert Feder posted the news late last night...

Keiling, known to fans of Steve Dahl and Garry Meier in the 1980s as “Lane Closure,” delivered traffic on almost every radio station in town over the past three decades and has been heard exclusively on WGN since 2004. On Sunday she tweeted: “Looks like I’m going to have some free time. Will miss my WGN family.”

Todd Manley, vice president of content and programming at WGN, thanked Keiling for her “always tenacious talents” and her service to the station.

Bummer for Leslie. She's an old pal of mine. We worked together twice before--with Steve & Garry in the late 80s/early 90s and John Landecker in the late 90s/early 00s. I consider her the best traffic reporter in Chicago. Someone will/should snap her up very quickly.
