Amy Jacobson is back at AM 560 The Answer in Chicago, partnering with Jeanne Ives for a new midday show.
The Real Story, which Ives has hosted on Sunday evenings from 7-9 PM in a solo capacity, will now be added to the weekday lineup at the Salem Media Group Chicago news/talk station. It will air in the 11 AM to Noon window, beginning on Monday, February 2nd.
Previously, Amy Jacobson worked as the morning co-host alongside Dan Proft on The Morning Answer for the station. However, she exited last year as part of budget cuts.
“I am thrilled to be returning home to AM 560 The Answer,” said Amy Jacobson. “Jeanne and I will be part of the strongest conservative line-up in Chicago radio! As many of you know, life takes some unexpected turns, but when you love what you do, the signal always finds its way back.”
“I am thankful and excited to be a part of the Salem family,” added Jeanne Ives. “Information is power and Amy and I want to bring the Real Story on policy along with informed commentary from years of experience knowing the players and politicians to our listeners. We want listeners to be informed, so they can hold the politicians accountable.”
Ives is no stranger to AM 560 The Answer listeners. She has hosted the program since 2023.
“This outstanding team adds two powerful, local conservative voices to our AM 560 lineup,” said Regional Vice President and General Manager John Gallagher. “Bringing Amy Jacobson back to the station fills a huge void for our audience. She has been relentless in her quest for the truth, and she gets answers that our listeners need to hear. Jeanne Ives is one of the most politically connected people in the state of Illinois. She brings a wealth of knowledge regarding so many issues that affect everyone within our listening area. I am looking forward to the in-depth conversation and new perspective this team will offer.”
