Fogel Wakes Up Back @ WLS-FM

• Chicago radio fixture Dave Fogel certainly wasn’t on the beach for long… Cumulus announced that Fogel is returning to Classic Hits WLS-FM as co-host of The WLS Wake Up Call, plugging in across from Kim Berk. Concurrent with Fogel’s arrival this week, Berk’s former co-host Brant Miller, a local TV weatherman, will anchor weather on WLS-FM and WLS-AM.

Fogel already knows his way around the WLS hallways, having previously co-hosted mornings there from 2010 through 2013. He spent the past five years at former CBS Radio Classic Hits WJMK (104.3 K-Hits), which in November flipped to Classic Hip Hop as WBMX (104.3 JAMS) under new owner Entercom. Fogel started his radio career in Kansas City and has also worked in San Diego, DC and Detroit.

Marv Nyren, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Media Chicago, said, “We welcome Dave to our Cumulus Chicago team and know that he and co-host Kim Berk will kick off the New Year in a big way on 94.7 WLS. We couldn’t be more excited about the energy and fun this dynamic duo will bring to mornings on 94.7 WLS, and know our listeners and advertisers will actually look forward to their morning Wake Up Call in 2018!”

Brian Thomas, who doubles as PD of 94.7 WLS-FM and Cumulus VP of Classic Hits Programming, said, “Dave has a great history of Classic Hits success in Chicago and will be an incredible addition to The WLS Wake Up Call. I look forward to the great pleasure of working with him again and think our listeners will love what they hear!”
