<\/a> Melissa Forman<\/p><\/div>\n

Likable longtime Chicago radio and television personality Melissa Forman is returning to WLIT 93.9-FM<\/a> as morning host, the iHeartMedia adult contemporary station announced today.<\/p>\n

Starting May 29, Forman will be on from 6 to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday, succeeding Kristina Kage, who ended<\/a> a three-year run at Lite FM last week.<\/p>\n

Forman most recently co-hosted \u201cYou & Me\u201d with Jeanne Sparrow on Weigel Broadcasting WCIU-Channel 26. The locally produced weekday morning talk-and-entertainment show was canceled<\/a> in March 2017 after eight years.<\/p>\n

This will be Forman\u2019s third time at Lite FM. Earlier stints ran from 2001 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2009. \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to go home again \u2014 to a station that I have always loved, with listeners I have really missed,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m humbled and excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forman grew up in Northbrook and graduated from Glenbrook North High School and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 1999, her first Chicago area radio job was at the former WKIE in Arlington Heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited to welcome Melissa Forman back into the iHeartMedia Chicago family,\u201d Matt Scarano, president of iHeartMedia Markets Group\u2019s Chicago region, said in a statement. \u201cShe has a rich history with Chicago and 93.9 Lite FM\u2019s listeners, and we are looking forward to working with her again.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the latest Nielsen Audio survey, Lite FM ranks 12th in mornings with a 2.9 percent share and cumulative weekly audience of 468,000. In the target demographic of women between 25 and 54, it\u2019s tied for 11th with a 3.4 share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
