Cumulus Media Chicago brings in veteran morning personality Kim Berk to join Brant Miller as co-host in mornings on Classic Hits WLS-FM, weekdays from 5:30-9am. Berk comes to Chicago from New York City, where she was co-host of the "Kim & Kane Show" on WWFS-FM from 2009 to 2015. She's also co-hosted the "Jim & Kim Morning Show" on WWFS. Prior to that, the morning duo of Jim & Kim was on-air for eight years at WKJY-FM/Long Island, NY.

Cumulus Chicago VP/Market Manager Peter Bowen said, "We are fortunate that phenomenal talent like Kim was available to join Brant and the morning team on WLS-FM. This is another piece of the puzzle that will bring WLS back to the top."

WLS-FM PD Brian Thomas and Corporate Program Director added, "I'm already a big fan because of hers, because she was Top 5 when we worked together in New York while I was the PD of Fresh 102.7 New York."

Berk remarked, "I really want to thank Mike McVay, SVP/Content & Programming and Peter Bowen for making this happen and I'm looking forward to working with Brant Miller and Brian Thomas again, this time in the very exciting city of Chicago."

Berk began her radio career in Cincinnati and spent several years hosting middays at WLIR-FM in Long Island. She spent part of her childhood in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights.
