He comes to Hubbard Radio Chicago as the co-creator, co-executive producer, writer and lead on the TV series "The Jamz" on Amazon Prime and Apple TV and co-hosts the "Not From Here" podcast.

Petlak sais, "Returning home to join The Mix and work for Hubbard Radio Chicago is an honor. I couldn't be more excited to work with Jimmy, Jeff, Eric, Dave and the entire team at a station with such a strong Chicago legacy. Our first stop will be Lou Malnati's, but after that - it's time to get to work."

VP/Market Manager Jeff England added, "We're thrilled to have Chris back at Hubbard Radio Chicago. It's a sort of homecoming for him. Back in 2011, Chris served as our first Social Media Manager as well as a contributor to Eric in the Morning. Chris will complement our already incredibly strong on air lineup, and bring with him a wealth of digital and entertainment experience to help drive both the quantity and quality of our episodic digital content creation."
