Entercom Country WUSN-FM (US99) Chicago announces a new morning show with Chicago-area native Katie Bright and Jason Pullman, along with contributions from Erin weekdays from 5:30-10am, beginning August 8. In addition, the morning program will also feature a rotating group of contributors.

"We are thrilled to welcome this talented team to US99," said Entercom Chicago Senior Vice President and Market Manager Jimmy de Castro. "The team will bring country music fans an entertaining and informative live, local show that is built for Chicagoland."

"I'm excited to make the transition back into radio," added Bright. "I can't wait to start out my mornings with Jason and Erin on the air."

Bright joins Entercom from Warner Music Nashville, where she served as the National Director of Promotion. The move marks her second stint with US99, where she previously held a sales role. Bright's on-air career began at WAXX-FM in Eau Claire, WI in mornings, for which she later received a Marconi Radio Award. She later transitioned to the WSIX-FM morning show in Nashville.

"I look forward to getting to work with Katie and Erin to create a show that brings the country fans of Chicago a consistent home for their morning commutes," said Pullman. "I want to bring realness, authenticity, kindness and genuineness to the audience with this new show. I want people to feel comfortable listening and to consider us a part of their family."

Pullman is a 15-year radio personality and previously was an on-air host for WUBL-FM Atlanta starting in 2009. He's also held afternoon duties for KYSR-FM in Los Angeles and served as voiceover talent for CBS TV, as well as for brands like Chili's and Expedia. Pullman also appeared on TLC's "Faking It," ABC Family Channel's "Perfect Match" and has been heard on national promotions for numerous media outlets including CBS, ABC, FX and TBS.

"I'm thrilled to begin this new role and am thankful to Entercom for giving me this opportunity," said Erin. "I look forward to learning from my new co-hosts and expanding my career with US99."

Erin, also a Chicago native, joined Entercom in 2018 as the Lead Promotions Coordinator for US99 and sister WBMX-FM (104.3 Jams). Erin is familiar to Chicago listeners as US99's "Bachelor" expert.
