New format to be announced next week
Morning-drive host Melissa Forman is out at adult contemporary WLIT-FM (93.9).

Earl Jones, president and market manager of Channel Radio Chicago, decided to change direction with the station's morning-drive show, which in recent months has been on a ratings roller-coaster.

A new morning-drive format is expected to be announced early next week.

Forman's morning show sunk to a 1.5 rating in the June ratings book and 26th place in the rankings before rebounding a bit in the just-released July book to a 2.2 rating ‹ good enough for 20th place among morning-drive contenders.

Forman's contract was set to expire Oct. 1.
