I know there was speculation about 670 AM The SCORE either expanding or simulcasting on an over the air FM station. That didn't happen, even though sports talk on the FM side is very common in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit & Minneapolis.
The station that I listen, 97.1 FM The Drive, recently promoted Janda Lane to midday host/music director to succeed Bob Stroud, who just semi-retired. The Drive also just promoted John "Byrd" Kempf to afternoons after Steve Seaver left the Hubbard-owned Classic Rock station in December. Evenings have been hosted by weekend guy Tim Spencer or have gone jockless after 7P. Overnights have been jockless for quite sometime following recent budget cuts. I don't know if The Drive will fill voids weeknights and/or weekends.
Truth be told, yesterday was a real letdown. Talk about changes in Chicago radio came & went with nothing happening.
