The station, launched on May 22, is Chicago's first full market signal to program Spanish Contemporary music. Most recently, Romero served as PD/afternoons of co-owned KLOL-FM/Houston.

"Mega 95.5 represents a new generation of radio and there's not a better person to lead our team than Omar Romero," said OM Tony Coles. "His track record of success, passion for perfection, and enthusiasm made him a natural choice."

Romero also held various programming and on-air positions at Spanish Broadcasting Systems' KZAB-FM and KLAX-FM in Los Angeles.
