Jordan Cornette, one of the three original co-hosts of \u201cThe Jam,\u201d<\/a> is leaving the weekday morning news, talk and entertainment show on Weigel Broadcasting WCIU-Channel 26<\/a> at the end of the May ratings sweep.<\/p>\n

Cornette declined to say where he\u2019s going next, but hinted that he'd be making an announcement soon. \u201cI\u2019m excited for what lies ahead,\u201d he told me.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for Weigel Broadcasting said Cornette\u2019s last day on \u201cThe Jam\u201d will be May 24. The search for his replacement is underway.<\/p>\n

\"The Jam\"<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201c \u2018The Jam\u2019 has been a magical experience for me,\u201d Cornette said. \u201cOver the past two years I have grown as a TV personality but more importantly as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with Felicia Lawrence and Danielle Robay, Cornette was hired to launch<\/a> the show in July 2017. Robay left<\/a> after one year and was replaced by Carly Henderson. It continues to draw dismally low ratings.<\/p>\n

\"I have been blessed to work with some great people,\" Cornette said. \"Felicia, Carly and the team are incredibly special to me and I will miss working with them on a daily basis. Being able to find my voice in this amazing city has been a dream come true. I have absolutely loved waking up with Chicago every morning.\"<\/p>\n

Cornette, a Cincinnati native and former Notre Dame basketball star, also works as college basketball analyst for ESPN and co-host of David Kaplan\u2019s midday show on ESPN Radio sports\/talk WMVP 1000-AM. He previously was a commentator for CBS Sports Network and Fox Sports 1.<\/p>\n

He's engaged to Shae Peppler, sports reporter and weekend sports anchor at Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32. They\u2019ve set a June 1 wedding date.<\/p>\n
