: From All Access:
: (FRESH 105.9)/CHICAGO has tapped BROOKE HUNTER for middays from 9a-3p. HUNTER had hosted evenings on the station.
: "BROOKE is the consummate CHICAGO radio pro, having her experience and local knowledge on the air every day will be a huge asset for FRESH," said CBS RADIO VP/AC Programming JIM RYAN.

: Thoughts?
Honestly, I am kind of surprised. I figured that when they fired Rick Hall, they would have made a more dramatic hiring decision. But to promote Brooke to full-time? Might they have had another hiring plan that had fallen through?
Brooke is a decent enough talent but did she really need to REPLACE Rick? The same question can be asked for Mike LeBaron. Was he really in need of being REPLACED by Steve Fisher?
Put Mike and Roxanne in AM Drive. Place Rick in middays and place Fisher in PM Drive. Done and done.
