ChicagoNow.com has partnered with Chicago's WGN Radio 720 (WGN-AM 720) for a radio show that will "feature a rotating cast of bloggers from ChicagoNow.com." Bill Leff, a Chicago radio veteran and former sidekick to Roe Conn, will host the show which will air from 9am-1pm on Saturdays.
Kevin "Pig Virus" Metheny, WGN Program Director, said "WGN wanted to create a boundary-free radio celebration of Chicago life. ChicagoNow is a collection of fascinating people who can't stop themselves from constantly telling Chicago's story as they see it in a dynamic, refreshing, and sometimes disturbing way. This will be a crazy collision of experiences and perspectives."
ChicagoNow Editorial Director Tracy Schmidt said "On air, our bloggers will never be at a loss for words. We can't wait to hear what they have to say every Saturday on WGN."
WGNRadio.com will also featuring weekly podcasts of the show and have links to featured blog posts.
