The Answer Chicago Restructuring

0

Salem Media Group’s AM 560 The Answer in Chicago has signed news anchor Mike Scott to a full-time contract as it restructures the stations line-up. For the past 17 years Scott has worked with the station through an agreement with Total Traffic and Weather Network and NBC News Radio.

“I’m incredibly gratified to be able to continue in my role on the air with AM 560 and Salem Media,” said Scott. “We have some of the best listeners in all of Chicago radio and some of the best on-air talent. I look forward to providing the first look at the day’s news for our audience.”

 

Scott will become News Director where he’ll continue to anchor newscasts and will begin handling traffic reporting duties, as well.

Additionally, JoAnn Genette will join AM 560 as an afternoon news anchor through an agreement with Remote News Service. Another new addition will be longtime Chicago traffic reporter Jill Urchak who will begin handling afternoon traffic reports.

“News and traffic are cornerstone elements for our format and for our radio station,” said Jeff Reisman, Regional VP/GM. “Keeping Mike Scott on our team while also adding Joann and Jill solidifies our commitment to serve our audience. We have a team of veteran broadcasters with experience and insight that our listeners can trust.”
