He was called the “voice of the night” during his days on Chicago radio. Jay Andres got his start on Windy City airwaves in 1953 on WBBM-AM (780), and hosted the overnight show through the late-1960s. After nearly 20 years with WBBM, Andres moved to WGN-AM (720) to host shows at night called “The Jay Andres Show,” “Music ‘Til Dawn,” and “Great Music from Chicago.” In the 1980s, he moved to San Francisco, but later returned to Chicago in 1985 to host mornings on WNIB-FM/WNIZ-FM, and then switched to classical WFMT-FM (98.7) in 1990. He was cut loose there after only a year. Andres retired in California, where he passed away. He was 85.
