Wells Headed Home To Chicago
Wells arrived in Springfield in November 2016 to oversee News-Talk WMAY-AM/FM, Active Rock WQLZ, Country WUSW (US 92.7) and AC WNNS after operating his own Chicago-based consultancy. Wells previously spent four years as SVP/Market Manager for CBS Radio’s Riverside, CA group, VP/Group Station Manager for Newsweb Radio Company in Chicago, VP of Nine-FM Radio and VP/GM of CBS Radio’s WUSN, WCKG, WXRT and WSCR/Chicago.
As reported by Chicago media columnist Robert Feder, Wells commented, “I cannot say enough good things about Mid-West Family Broadcasting, and feel fortunate to have spent two-plus years at an employee-owned company. It truly makes a difference when you walk in the door and your fellow workers also have an ownership interest in the company. However, the one family that has to come before the Mid-West Family is my own.”
