WLS-FM/Chicago afternoon talent Ron Parker exits the Cumulus Media Classic Hits outlet after almost 3 years in the post. Previously, the veteran air personality was on-air at co-owned WNSH-FM (NASH FM 94.7) in New York and hosted two different dayparts on WCBS-FM there. He also was on-air for various channels on SiriusXM.

Parker wrote on Facebook, "Wanted to let all know that this has been my last week at WLS-FM Chicago... I started here with the afternoon show in 24th place in that all important demo of 25-54 adults. Now I leave with afternoons 3rd place in a very competitive market. The staff at WLS-FM has done an amazing job turning things around the last few years and consistently putting this station Top 3 and above in Chicago".

Parker has previously held on-air and programming posts in markets including San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix and Tallahassee.
