Movie critic and newspaper columnist Richard Roeper to join Roe Conn on talk WLS, Chicago (890)
The 2-6pm afternon drive show will be billed as “The Roe Conn Show with Richard Roeper”, and the Sun-Times columnist will be a full-fledged member of Conn’s show. Roe was most recently paired with Cisco Cotto, but new Citadel GM Michael Damsky recruits Roeper for the job. Robert Feder at Vocalo.org recalls that Roeper “began on the radio as a Sunday morning talk show host on WLS in the early 1990s and eventually landed his own Monday-Friday midday show on WLS-FM (94.7) during its run with a ‘young talk’ format from 1994-95.” The common thread, then and now, is programmer Drew Hayes. Roeper will continue his newspaper column and nationally-distributed movie review work. He’s just published a book titled “Bet the House: How I Gambled over a Grand a Day for 30 Days on Sports, Poker, and Games of Chance” (here on Amazon.com). The Chicago Board of Radio-Info is talking about “Roe and Roeper” here.
