Dan Markus has joined Civic Media Oldies 1400 WRJN/99.9 Racine and 98.1 Kenosha WI as midday host.
Markus recently concluded a 25-year tenure at Cumulus Media in Green Bay and Appleton, where he served as the midday host for Classic Hits 103.1 WVBO.
In June, he left the station to concentrate on podcasting and writing.
While in Green Bay, he also hosted mornings on Standards 1280 WNAM and was Program Director of Classic Hits 103.1 WOGB from 1999 to 2017.
Markus takes the slot previously occupied by Cindy Huber, who had hosted middays since the station’s shift from Liberal Talk to Oldies in May. Huber has stepped down to dedicate more time to her family business but will continue to contribute to the station as a fill-in host and is considering adding weekend hours in the upcoming year.
“Dan helps us maintain the high standard that Cindy set with this station and format,” WRJN VP/General Manager Chris Moreau said in a release. “His knowledge and love for the music from this era and overall experience make Dan the perfect fit for Racine, WRJN, and Civic Media.”
