“I have had my eye on Shila for a few years and I’m very excited to have her join the air staff at US99.5,” said Jeff Kapugi, CBS Radio VP/ Country Programming and Program Director, WUSN. “She’s a very dynamic personality that brings a fresh approach to afternoon drive in Chicago, Shila joins a talented team featuring Lisa and Ray in mornings, recently promoted midday host Drew Walker and ‘Jax’ at night.”
“I am beyond thrilled to be back with my CBS Radio family,” said Nathan. “As the new afternoon host at US 99.5, I look forward to working closely with Jeff Kapugi and CBS Radio Chicago Market Manager, Rod Zimmerman. Chicago is a GREAT city and I can’t wait to call it home. This is an amazing opportunity. I’m goin’ country!!!”
