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.
