Peck Takes 7-Midnight On WLS-FM

• Cumulus Classic Hits 94.7 WLS-FM/Chicago has formally named market pro Brian Peck as the permanent 7-midnight show host, starting Monday, September 24. Peck has been rotating night jock duties along with fellow WLS personalities Tom O’Toole and Danny Lake, who will continue to do weekends on 94.7 WLS, along with Erin Carmen and Abby Ryan.

A Chicago radio fixture since 1992, Peck made his Windy City radio debut as morning co-host on WKQX (Q101), alongside former MTV Veejay, Mark Goodman. In August 1996, Peck segued to WTMX (101.9 The Mix) and later worked at WSHE (SHE 100.3). Peck most recently did middays on CBS Radio’s former WJMK (K-Hits 104.3) until last November, when the sale to Entercom closed and the station flipped to Classic Hip Hop as WBMX (104.3 JAMS).

Wade Linder, PD of 94.7 WLS, said of Peck, “Brian has a rare interactive style with our listeners. It seems like he’s conversing with a different caller every time he turns on the mic.” For his part, Peck remarked, “94.7 WLS is a perfect fit for me and my style. I’m excited to play Chicago’s Classic Hits and talk with our listeners every night from 7 to midnight!”
