Classical WFMT-FM Chicago has announced changes to its morning music lineup, naming Jan Weller (pictured) as host of Morning Music on weekdays and Kristina Lynn as the new weekend morning host.

Weller will take over the weekday Morning Music program beginning Monday, December 15, airing Monday through Friday from 6-10am. Lynn will assume hosting duties on weekends starting Saturday, December 20, airing Saturdays and Sundays from 7am-noon.

"The voices of our hosts are the heart of WFMT," said Roger Wight, WFMT Head of Programming and Operations. "I'm thrilled that listeners will enjoy friendly companionship and an inviting mix of classical music with Jan on weekdays and Kristina on weekends. Both bring an engaging presence and unique musical perspective to mornings on WFMT."

A nearly 30-year veteran of WFMT, Weller has served as a host and producer at the station since 1995. His career began while he was a music student at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, followed by roles at public radio outlets in North Carolina, Oregon, and Wisconsin Public Radio.

"WFMT has been my musical home for many years, and it's an honor to be with our listeners to start the day," Weller said. "I look forward to sharing familiar favorites, new discoveries, and the sense of curiosity and joy that classical music can bring to the morning."

Lynn joined WFMT in 2020 and has hosted live performances and artist interviews, including Rush Hour Concerts and coverage of the Grant Park Music Festival. She holds a degree in trumpet performance from DePaul University and previously worked in radio production at WQXR in New York.

"One of my favorite things about my role at WFMT is welcoming all types of listeners to classical music, whether they're lifelong fans or just getting started," Lynn said. "The weekend morning playlists are full of both lively and introspective musical moments, and I can't wait to share them all with the WFMT audience."
