Major market personality Gary Spears, who is currently doing afternoon drive at CBS Radio Classic Hits WJMK (104.3 K-Hits)/Chicago took to social media to announce his impending relocation to sunny Florida next month. As Spears explained via Facebook, "Those of you who know me know that I been going to Florida for vacations now for six years, as I have a house there that I am planning on moving into this October." He added, "I guess I became a weather snob after living in L.A. for nearly 15 years and the thought of another Midwest winter doesn't thrill me." Spears' last day at K-Hits will be Friday, October 13.
He added, "I want to thank the great people in Chicago who have supported me here over the past 6+ years and my other two tours of duty in the '80s and '90s at B96." Spears joined K-Hits March 2011, first in middays, and later, shifted to afternoons. In addition to those aforementioned stints at B96/Chicago, Spears is also known and loved for his many years of service at KIIS-FM and KBIG/Los Angeles.
I interviewed Gary when he first returned to Chicago in 2011 for Chicago Radio Spotlight. You can read that here.
