\"We are excited to turn back the hands of time and relive Chicago\u2019s soundtrack from March 15, 2001, precisely as it came out of the speakers two decades ago,\" said Rob Cressman, who's been brand and content director of The Drive since 2016. The idea, he said, is \"to recreate much of the excitement and enthusiasm that accompanied the launch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joining Sherman and Tingle today will be original morning host Steve Downes, who'll share recollections of The Drive\u2019s earliest days. Bob Stroud, the first voice heard on the station and still its popular midday personality, will follow with highlights of the past two decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward not only to Monday\u2019s musical retrospective but also to the year ahead as we celebrate all that has made The Drive synonymous with Chicago over the past 20 years,\u201d Cressman added.<\/p>\n
In the latest Nielsen Audio survey The Drive tied for fifth place overall with a 4.4 percent share. Among men between 35 and 64 it's No. 1 with a 7.6 share.<\/p>\n
Since 2017 Solk has been brand manager and operations director of WXRT 93.1-FM, the Entercom adult album alternative station that turns 50 next year.<\/p>\n
