Saying he missed being on the air, Chicago radio veteran Mark Zander is stepping down as program director of Weigel Broadcasting\u2019s soft rock\/oldies\u00a0WRME FM 87.7<\/a>\u00a0to join Hubbard Radio classic hits WDRV FM 97.1<\/a>\u00a0as weekend and fill-in personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know everybody on The Drive and I\u2019ve worked with everybody on The Drive,\u201d Zander said Thursday. \u201cSo it kind of feels like I\u2019m coming back to a very familiar place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zander, who is expected to continue consulting for Weigel Broadcasting during the transition, helped launch the radio station earlier this year and was officially named program director when it was rebranded as Me-TV FM <\/a>in February. Within four months, the format more than tripled<\/a> the audience share it had under Tribune Media management.<\/p>\n

Zander, who real name is Mark Holoubek, previously was program director of west suburban rock stations WERV FM 95.9 and WRXQ FM 100.7, and former host and producer of two nationally syndicated shows, \u201cThe Rockin\u2019 80\u2032s\u201d and \u201cThe Rockin\u2019 70\u2032s.\u201d He also held on-air roles at WLUP FM 97.9 and the former WRCX, WCKG and WZZN.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to add yet another Chicago market vet to The Drive\u2019s on-air lineup,\u201d said program director Curtiss Johnson. Zander starts on the air next weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
