Now there's a third-generation Volkman coming up the broadcast ranks. She's Abbey Volkman, the 24-year-old daughter of Eddie Volkman, veteran morning personality on CBS Radio Top 40 WBBM-FM (96.3), and granddaughter of legendary Chicago meteorologist Harry Volkman.
Abbey, who graduated last May from Oklahoma State University, is working in many roles for Citadel Broadcasting in Oklahoma City. Her jobs include on-air and public-affairs duties for the company's seven stations there.
"I get a lot of encouragement from my family," she said.
