After nearly five years, I have decided to leave WLS at the end of the year to pursue other ventures and adventures in broadcasting, politics and business including but not limited to the Bears coaching vacancy. My time at WLS has been incredibly fun and rewarding. I am humbled to have had a platform on the station with the most recognized, respected and enduring call letters in the Midwest. It has been an honor to follow radio greats Don Wade & Roma in the morning drive slot. I had the good fortune to be surrounded by supremely talented people at WLS from my zany, quick-witted, well-coiffured, 60s music savant and co-host Bruce Wolf to our show producers, engineers, sales staff, promotions folks, and program directors through the years. I owe particular debts of gratitude to Don Wade & Roma who opened the door for me and to Bruce Wolf, Michael Damsky, Drew Hayes, and Tracy Slutzkin from whom I learned so much about both on-air presentation and the business of talk radio. I must also offer a thank you to all of the fascinating, accomplished guests we had the occasion to interview who greatly enhanced the entertainment quotient of our show. Finally, I am eternally grateful to our loyal listeners, particularly those who followed us on our WLS journey from the weekends to the midday show to morning drive. The Amish Texter, Steve on 88, Tom from Schaumburg, Anna from Chicago, Ralph from the South Suburbs, Shaun from Elmwood Park (of course), even John from Mundelein and so many more: thank you for punctuating our show with your wit, wisdom, compliments and criticisms. Whether at our Steak of the Union events, on cruises, at political events, or just in the course of everyday life, it has been a treat to meet so many listeners who have been so generous with their support of our show. Thank you all very much. I will always reflect fondly on my time on the Big 89. My only regret was never meeting Chet Chitchat in person.
