<\/a> Rob Hart<\/p><\/div>\n

For the second time in five years, Rob Hart has left WGN AM 720<\/a> to jump to an all-news radio station in Chicago.<\/p>\n

This week Hart exited the Tribune Media news\/talk station to join CBS Radio WBBM AM 780\/WCFS FM 105.9<\/a> as a fill-in part-time reporter and news anchor. He began training Monday, according to Ron Gleason, director of news and programming at\u00a0WBBM Newsradio.<\/p>\n

Saturday was Hart\u2019s last day on the air at WGN, where he\u2019d been working as a part-time news anchor and fill-in host since last July.<\/p>\n

Hart ended his first stint at WGN in 2011 when he left to help start up Merlin Media\u2019s ill-fated FM News 101.1. At the outset it was, he acknowledged, \u201cill-conceived and poorly executed\u201d<\/a> \u2014 an opinion shared by many before the venture folded the following year. He also worked for WLUP FM 97.9 <\/a>and Rivet News Radio,<\/a> and filled in on WLS AM 890.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hart, 35, who grew up on Chicago\u2019s Southwest Side and graduated from Marquette University, worked as a news anchor and reporter at WTMJ in Milwaukee before joining WGN the first time in 2005.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy to say that I'm joining @WBBMNewsradio as a per diem reporter and anchor,\u201d Hart tweeted <\/a>Monday. \u201cSee you on AM and FM!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
