Audacy's "The Morning Mess" will move to WBBM-FM (B96) in Chicago as the station's new morning show. Beginning the week of April 4, the show featuring Joey Boy, Aneesh Ratan, Jeana Shepard and Karla Hernandez, will be heard weekdays from 5:30-10am CT. "The Morning Mess," which will also continue to be heard on sister KALV-FM (Live 101.5) in Phoenix, will originate from Chicago.

"After a long search we are thrilled to bring 'The Morning Mess' to Chicago," said Audacy Chicago Regional President and Market Manager Rachel Williamson. "This show is a fun, energetic and close team who embrace their diverse cultures and lifestyles to bring lively and relatable entertainment to listeners every morning."

"We are all beyond excited for this opportunity - mornings at the iconic B96," said Joey Boy. "The mess team is the hardest working and most talented ensemble I have ever worked with, and they are my dear friends. 'The Morning Mess' is ready to embrace Chicago and become part of its vibrant and diverse culture; thanks to everyone at Audacy for the incredible support."

"After many years of the same morning show choices for contemporary hit music fans, we believe Chicagoans will be excited to have a new, fresh option to wake up with and to energize their mornings," added Audacy Chicago Vice President of Programming and Operations Greg Solk.
