Christina Filiaggi's new outlet

No doubt about it. Sidekick and traffic reporter Christina Filiaggi had her following on the "Roe Conn Show" on news/talk WLS-AM (890), which she was a part of for more than eight years. We heard from some of her fans when we first revealed that former WMAQ-Channel 5 reporter Amy Jacobson would take Filiaggi's place on the Conn show in early May.

Filiaggi has found a new outlet for her talents. She has just begun working with Geoff Pinkus on his "Living Large with Geoff Pinkus" show from 5-7 p.m. on Sundays on talk radio WIND-AM (560).

Coincidentally, Jacobson had worked alongside Pinkus for a while before she was brought on board Conn's show. Jim O'Connell, a producer who works with Pinkus, said Pinkus likes having a female sidekick on his very male-centric Sunday radio talk show that discusses topics such as cigars and automobiles. O'Connell said that, for now, Filiaggi is doing her new gig with Pinkus on a week-by-week basis.
