Drew Walker Rises To PD At WCCQ & WXLC/Chicago
Free People: Connoisseur WCCQ & WXLC/Chicago APD/MD/afternoon host Drew Walker has been promoted to PD/mornings. Walker joined the stations at their launch (CAT 5/24/24) after a long tenure at crosstown WUSN. In mornings, which he begins the first week of January, Walker succeeds The Bobby Bones Show. Rock sister WIIL/suburban Chicago morning host Leah Andersen moves to afternoons at WCCQ & WXLC, where she was already doing weekends. OM Gordon Mays says, "We have a unique opportunity to continue evolving with authentic, local voices, and that’s a big win for our listeners.” Reach Walker here.
