Southwest News-Herald columnist Ray Hanania will host a new live and expanded radio talkshow on WCEV 1450 AM Radio from 4 to 6 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday.

The new show, called "RadioChicagoland" will offer listeners a mix of local, regional, national and international topics.

"We are going to take radio and open it up to the listeners again," Hanania said. "We will have the same high quality guests we have had in the past but we will open the phone lines to more listeners, especially from the Southwest Side of Chicago and to listeners in Oak Lawn, Burbank and Bridgeview. We're going to give our readers at the Southwest News-Herald a stronger voice, while taking the show nationally."

Hanania, a longtime journalist who has won three Society of Professional Journalism Lisagor awards, hosted live radio talk shows in the 1980s and 1990s at WLUP, WBBM-FM, and at WLS-AM radio when it offered a more mainstream radio format.

Last year, Hanania returned to radio hosting "Radio Chicagoland" at WJJG radio every Wednesday.

Guests on past shows have included U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd), County Commissioner Tony Peraica (R-16th), Steve Brown, spokesman for House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, Oak Lawn Mayor Dave Heilmann, book authors, television personalities like WGN's Larry Potash, and community activists.
