Janda Named MD/Middays At Chicago’s Drive
• Hubbard Classic Rock WDRV (97.1 The Drive)/Chicago makes it official and elevates Janda Lane to permanent midday host and Music Director.
Janda had co-hosted afternoon drive with Steve Seaver for the past four years before temporarily stepping in for legendary midday host Bob Stroud, who semi-retired in June of this year. The cool part is, Stroud will continue hosting his daily features Ten at 10 and One 45 at 1:45 during Janda’s midday show. Janda now adds MD stripes and will continue to host her Marconi-nominated podcast, Behind The Song.
WDRV Brand & Content Director Keith Hastings commented, “The Drive consists of a team that plays on a big stage at the highest level, and Janda is a perfect fit for promotion into this high profile assignment in every way I can think of. I’m elated for our audience, our clients, and our community whose experience with our brand benefits greatly from her spectacular talent, professionalism, and positivity.”
Hubbard Chicago VP/Market Manager Jeff England added, “We are delighted to promote Janda. Her extensive knowledge of Classic Rock and immense talent are the perfect combination for our loyal listeners middays on The Drive.”
An elated Janda remarked, “I’m beyond thrilled to move into middays on The Drive, and am honored to fill the space around the one and only Bob Stroud’s long-standing Ten at 10 and One 45 at 1:45 features. Life is a winding road and I’m so happy that the road has led me here to Chicago, to The Drive, and last and most importantly, to our awesome listeners. Thank you so much for listening!”
