(Chicago, IL – October 19, 2007) – Darren Davis, Vice President of Programming & Operations for Clear Channel Radio Chicago, announced today that Melissa Forman will return to hosting mornings on 93.9 WLIT starting Monday, October 22, 2007.

“I obviously made a mistake in replacing Melissa a year ago, and the ratings have suffered,” said Davis. “To be frank, I simply underestimated Chicago’s love for Melissa. But Chicago has spoken, and Chicagoland clearly wants to hear Melissa on The Lite every morning. I’m just thrilled to have Melissa back where she belongs. She’s been very classy through the whole process.”

Forman hosted mornings on 93.9 WLIT for five years before being replaced by Whoopi Goldberg in August 2006. Earlier this year, Forman returned to the station to host afternoons. In her new role, Forman will host both mornings and afternoons on 93.9 WLIT. She will be heard weekdays from 5:30AM to 8:30AM and again from 4:00PM to 7:00PM. “Melissa will be people’s drive time companion on The Lite, while Robin Rock handles the important workday in between,” said Davis.

“You have no idea how much it means to me to be back on mornings at The Lite,” said Forman. “I have missed the listeners and waking up with them every day. The statement that this management has made is a lesson in grace and class. I am so incredibly humbled by the support and outreach of so many amazing listeners. Can't wait to dust off that alarm clock!”

The new WLIT weekday line-up features:

Melissa Forman with Rick Zurick (5:30AM to 8:30AM)
No Talk Music Sweep (8:30AM to 9:30AM)
Robin Rock (9:30AM to 4PM)
Melissa Forman (Most likely voicetracked, 4PM to 7PM)
Delilah (Voicetracked, 7PM to 12M)
Dave Hilton (Voicetracked, 12M to 5:30AM)
