Diamond Signs With WLS Chicago

10-30-14

Jack Diamond steps into the morning show slot at Cumulus' WLS-FM in the Windy City. He joins the current morning lineup, including air talent/meteorologist Brant Miller, Marty Jones with information/traffic updates, and producer Dan Wolfe. Diamond sat in for one week in the summer and it has turned into a permanent morning gig that begins this coming Monday.

Diamond says, ?As a kid listening to the radio at night, WLS and WABC were the stations that sparked a desire to spend my life doing what those great personalities were doing from so many miles away. Pure magic. Hosting mornings at 94-7 WLS is not only a career dream come true, it brings my career full circle and is truly 'going home.' In a city with such great air talent through the years, it?s an honor to join them, past and present, in Chicago. Thanks to John Dickey, Mike McVay, Market Manager Donna Baker, and the one and only Jan Jeffries, Cumulus SVP/PD of WLS-FM, for the enthusiastic welcome and great opportunity at such a legendary radio station?.

Today, on his Facebook page, Diamond explains why he's already quit the job. Diamond says he could not find the school he wanted for his son and housing is notoriously expensive in San Diego. He could not make the personal pieces fit in California and moved back to DC.
