<\/a> Leslie Keros<\/p><\/div>\n

Leslie Keros, the weekday morning jazz host on College of DuPage\u2019s WDCB 90.9-FM,<\/a> will soon be going national.<\/p>\n

Starting July 5 Keros will join the talent roster of the Chicago-based Jazz Network,<\/a> a programming service of WFMT Radio Network, the syndication division of\u00a0Window to the World Communications classical WFMT 98.7-FM. She is replacing Neil Tesser, whose contract with the network ended.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to be a part of the Jazz Network and look forward to sharing the swinging, soulful sounds of jazz with listeners across the country,\u201d Keros said. She\u2019ll join a lineup that includes Dee Alexander, Dave Schwan and John Hill.<\/p>\n

The new job for Keros doesn\u2019t mean her role will change at WDCB. She\u2019ll continue to host the public radio station\u2019s flagship \u201c\u2019DCB Jazz\u201d<\/a> from 5 to 8 a.m. Monday through Friday, according to station manager Dan Bindert.<\/p>\n

While there are no official ties between WDCB and WFMT, Bindert said the two stations have a \"friendly relationship,\" including partnering on live broadcasts of the Chicago Jazz Festival and other projects.<\/p>\n

WDCB continues to air WFMT Jazz Network's \u201cSunday Jazz with Dee Alexander\u201d from 8 to 10 p.m. Sundays, he said, but there are no plans to pick up Keros\u2019s network programs on the west suburban Glen Ellyn-based station.<\/p>\n

A Detroit area native, Keros, 54, began hosting jazz and blues shows in 2000 at the University of Chicago\u2019s WHPK 88.5-FM. She joined WDCB as a volunteer host before becoming a staff employee in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
