WGN Radio has announced it has agreed to a multi-year contract extension for Bob Sirott to remain in mornings on the Chicago news/talk station.
Sirott has hosted from 6-10 AM since joining the station in 2020.
“Management has given me a terrific on-air and behind-the-scenes team, plus freedom to do whatever I want,” said Sirott. “That’s why waking up at 4:30 am is fun now. Actually…that last line is a lie.”
“Bob’s work ethic, focus and character is the stuff of legends in the broadcast industry,” said WGN Radio Vice President and General Manager Mary Sandberg Boyle. “He’s an excellent communicator and continues to strategically engage and connect with the WGN Radio audience daily. Bob is one of the best in the business and we’re proud to have him as part of the WGN Radio team.”
Sirott has spent more than five decades as a radio host, DJ, and TV news anchor.
