Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy: iHeartMedia WEBG/Chicago has elevated afternoon host Brooke Taylor to APD, effective immediately. She remains in afternoons and will report to PD Lance Houston. Taylor joined WEBG in 2016 (CAT 10/5/16). Her previous career stops include WBTU/Fort Wayne, IN and Radio Disney. "During my first eight months on the job in Chicago, it became more and more clear that Brooke's passion for both Big 95.5 and iHeartCountry brands made her the obvious choice for this role," says Houston. Reach Taylor here.

Concurrently, WEBG fill-in host Trace Hamilton has been added for full-time on-air duties from 7pm-1am nightly. "Trace has grown into a natural, compelling on-air talent, and we are thrilled to be able to round out our weekday lineup on Big 95.5 with one of the hardest working people that I have ever met in the radio business," adds Houston.
