Stephanie Tichenor Exits WLS-AM, Chicago

Programmer Stephanie Tichenor exited Cumulus Media’s news/talk WLS-AM, Chicago last Friday after seven years in the role of program director and (more recently) director of social media. She posted to LinkedIn: “Radio is changing here in Chicago and across the country. I was laid off yesterday. I worked with Cumulus Media as Program Director and Director of Social Media for over 7 years. I worked with a wonderful team of professionals and I will cherish the friendships I have made. I’m grateful for my family and friends who support me, love me, and make me laugh every day. What’s next? I’m not sure. I am anxious. I am sad. Mostly I am hopeful.”
