Gordon Named PM Anchor At WLS/Chicago

• Kim Gordon has been named as afternoon drive News Anchor at Cumulus News-Talk 890 WLS-AM/Chicago, holding down the fort weekdays from 4-7pm during The John Howell Show. That slot was most recently occupied by former longtime WLS News Director John Dempsey, who retired in December. Ms. Gordon spent the past 15 years across the street on WGN Radio, where she was most recently afternoon News Anchor. She started her career at WHAS/Louisville, KY.

Stephanie Tichenor, PD of 890 WLS-AM, said, “Finding the facts and reporting the news has never been an easy job. Doing it in this environment hasn’t made it any easier. You need experience and grit to craft a meaningful, accurate newscast and Kim Gordon has both of those qualities in spades.” She added, “I’m delighted to have Kim join our 890 WLS-AM News Team as the PM Drive Anchor. Her attention to facts and detail will enhance our news product and yes, she can probably teach John Howell a thing or two about golf.”

Gordon commented, “I’m thrilled to be joining the WLS news team and to be working with John Howell in the afternoons. It’s an honor to follow in the footsteps of John Dempsey. I’ve long admired his integrity and passion for news. I hope to continue that legacy at WLS.”
