For Immediate release..
Rick O’Dell Off to a Great Start in Midday’s on 87.7FM…Chicago’s Smooth Jazz!
Pat Kelley, SVP General Manager of 87.7FM Chicago’s Smooth Jazz (WLFM –LP) announced today a very successful first week for the return of Rick O’Dell to midday’s
(9am-2pm) on 87.7FM. According to Kelley..“Our idea was to execute a soft launch this week to get Rick back in rhythm. Obviously it was the right thing to
do…without any publicity at all that we received hundreds of emails, Facebook messages and phone messages welcoming Rick back.”`Kelley went on to say..”this has
been a great week… having Rick on the air at 87.7FM is an important part of our plan to give Chicago what they are asking for in a well programmed, tailor made
contemporary/smooth jazz radio station. Thanks again to the thousands of people who have reached out to us over the past several months…we’re listening and taking
action!”
In talking to Rick…”I can’t be anything but humbled by the welcome back I’ve gotten from listeners. I wouldn’t be back on the air without their support. And their
passion for the music is as strong as ever, so it’s time to get to work and make 87.7 their #1 radio station.”
