Cumulus Media Conservative Talk 890 WLS Chicago has cut ties with morning host Bruce St. James.
St. James joined WLS in November 2020 following a decade co-hosting late mornings on 92.3 KTAR-FM Phoenix. Prior to making the shift to Talk hosting in 2010, St. James spent the majority of his career in music programming with stints as Music Director of KPWR Los Angeles, thirteen years as PD of Rhythmic CHR “Power 92” KKFR Phoenix and PD of Rhythmic CHR “101.5 Jamz” KZON and Country 107.9 KMLE Phoenix.
Robert Feder reports that ‘Ramblin’ Ray’ Stevens will join incumbent “contributor” Judy Pielach in the morning slot until they find a permanent replacement. Stevens previously co-hosted mornings at WLS from 2016 to 2018 and had been co-hosting a weekend show for the station. He is best known in the market for his 26 years (22 in mornings) at Country “US 99” WUSN.
