WXRT-FM (93XRT)/Chicago afternoon host Marty Lennartz will transition to host the Audacy AAA's morning slot, beginning June 13. He succeeds Richard Milne, who recently announced he is stepping away. Lennartz, a Chicago native, joined 93XRT in 1981 as a morning producer. In 1986, he became a full time overnight air talent. In the mid-2000's, Lennartz was named Creative Assistant to Programming. He also helped establish 93XRT's "Live from Studio X" series, and after introducing 93XRT listeners to new artists as host of "The Big Beat" for 14 years, Lennartz returned to the airwaves for afternoons.

"Marty has exemplified excellence at every move during his 40 plus year career at WXRT," said 93XRT Brand Manager Laura Duncan. "Chicago will start the day with a friend they've known for years."

"I couldn't be more excited about doing mornings on XRT and follow in the footsteps of three of my best friends, Terri Hemmert, Lin Brehmer and Richard Milne," added Lennartz. "I started my career getting up early to produce Terri Hemmert's morning show after being her student at Columbia College and now all these years later I get to host."

Annalisa, who was announced June 2 as the newest addition to the 93XRT lineup, will host afternoons beginning June 13.
