WGN's Lisa Dent

Here's a nice feature on Lisa Dent of WGN. She says she prefers talk radio to music radio because it gives her more room to talk.

How Lisa Dent Found Her Home at Legendary WGN Radio

"I've never had enough room to talk on music radio. Filling an hour with conversation has never been an issue for me. I already knew what connected with this audience because this audience is Chicago, and I've worked in this city for the past 25 years."

She was very popular at US99. She even won some awards. Now both she and Ramblin' Ray are doing talk, but at different stations.
 
Lisa Dent was off the air for a long time recovering from major shoulder surgery. It was amazing the amount of concern from WGN listeners, calling and asking about her. She's definitely one of the favorites at WGN. I like her quote:

The way people identify with this radio station is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”

I don't live in Chicago, but WGN is my 2nd favorite talk station, behind KFI.
