Big Move For Lisa Dent
• Windy City radio veteran Lisa Dent has joined iHeartMedia Country WEBG (Big 95.5)/Chicago for weekends, effective June 16. Dent reports to BIG 95.5 PD Lance Houston and will be heard Saturdays from noon-6pm and Sundays from 10am-4pm.
Dent (left) notably spent 14 years with former CBS Radio Country WUSN (US99), rising to morning co-host before departing in August 2016 — the same year she was inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame. Dent later launched Lisa Dent Speaks, LLC and built her own studio, The Radio Farm.
“I’m delighted that Lisa Dent is joining our team,” said a clearly delighted Matt Scarano, President of iHeartMedia’s Chicago Region. “Lisa is a ‘Chicago Icon,’ a Country Radio Hall of Famer and an amazing addition to our lineup.” An equally excited Dent said, “I’m thrilled to be working at Chicago’s destination for all things Country. Nothing sounds more fun than jumping back on the radio at Big 95.5 and connecting with my audience!”
