WLS-AM 890 has announced it has signed a new deal with Fox News Audio to bring hourly news updates, longform specials, and breaking news coverage to the Cumulus Media Chicago news/talk station.
The partnership is an expansion after the station had previously added The Guy Benson Show to its lineup earlier this year after the exit of one-hour shows hosted by talent from The Daily Wire.
“We are delighted to begin this partnership with FOX News Audio on the Big 89,” said Program Director Stephanie Tichenor. “Fox News is a perfect fit for WLS-AM audiences.”
“FOX News Audio is excited to partner with WLS-AM, bringing our signature talk programming, breaking news coverage, top-of-the-hour updates, and long-form specials to better serve our dedicated listeners in Chicago,” added Fox News Audio Senior Vice President John Sylvester.
The Fox News Audio coverage begins airing on the station today. WLS says it will be a complement to the station’s local news coverage.
“We are thrilled to deliver the Fox News Audio product to our listeners, as it perfectly aligns with 890 WLS-AM and will give the audience a news service that meets their expectations,” said Cumulus Chicago Regional Vice President and Market Manager Marv Nyren.
WLS-AM 890 becomes the latest in a long line of news/talk stations carrying Fox News Audio updates. The network recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.
