Could Roe Conn, afternoon drive host at WLS-AM (890), be getting a new female sidekick soon? It's possible.
Conn's current traffic woman and sidekick Christina Filiaggi is auditioning to work alongside Mancow Muller on his syndicated national radio show that he does early mornings before signing on at news/talk WLS-AM to do a mid-morning show with co-host Pat Cassidy. If things go well with Muller, sources say, Filiaggi could shift from her gig with Conn to Muller's syndicated morning show.
One name that has surfaced as a replacement for Filiaggi on the Roe Conn show is none other than Amy Jacobson, the former reporter at NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5 who was caught on camera in 2007 in a bikini at the home of Craig Stebic, whose wife, Lisa went missing. WMAQ subsequently dropped Jacobson. Filiaggi has been at WLS-AM for about four years.
