<\/a> Jonathon Brandmeier<\/p><\/div>\n
Culminating a day of Chicago radio bombshells, Cumulus Media has signed Chicago radio veteran Jonathon Brandmeier to a partnership agreement that will bring his show to WLS AM 890 <\/a>and syndicate it nationally, the company announced Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Jonathon Brandmeier Show\u201d will air from 9 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday on the Cumulus Media news\/talk station, starting sometime in March. It will replace John Kass and Lauren Cohn, whose final show<\/a> aired on WLS Thursday.<\/p>\n
Brandmeier\u2019s show will be syndicated nationally by Westwood One, the distribution unit of Cumulus Media. It will replace Dennis Miller, who is stepping aside from radio. In Chicago, Miller's show airs on Salem Media news\/talk WIND AM 560,<\/a> which will not be carrying Brandmeier.<\/p>\n
Word of Brandmeier\u2019s deal comes hours after it was reported that he had turned down <\/a>an offer to host mornings on WJMK FM 104.3, <\/a>the CBS Radio classic hits station known as K-Hits. Sources described it as a \u201ccontent partnership deal\u201d that would have included revenue-sharing tied to Brandmeier\u2019s digital platform.<\/p>\n

Here is an email Brandmeier sent to fans Thursday:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u201cWHAT did I say?!\u201d Nothing is over until we decide it is.<\/em><\/p>\n
