Ji Suk Yi will be joining WGN Radio as a contributor on The Steve Cochran Show, heard weekdays 6:00am - 10:00am, effective Monday, August 5.

"Ji has become one of Chicago's most compelling cultural storytellers," said Station Manager and Vice President of Content, Todd Manley. "Her fresh voice adds a whole new dimension to Steve's show."

Yi will continue "The Grid: Neighborhood Eats", a weekly Chicago Sun-Times restaurant column and video that highlights new and old-school favorites. This feature will also be a recurring segment on The Steve Cochran Show Wednesdays at 9:10am.

"I'm excited to take part and enhance a fun and clever daily conversation at a legacy station that jump starts the day in a meaningful way for listeners... hearing directly from them and connecting is the best part," said Yi.

Yi emigrated from South Korea as a child and earned her law degree at the University of North Carolina before moving to Chicago to pursue a career in journalism. Prior to the Sun-Times, she was a co-host and contributor on WLS-TV's "Windy City Live" for seven seasons.
