Lauren “Lern” Elwell will handle evenings on Hubbard classic rock “97.1 The Drive” WDRV Chicago. Elwell will continue in her role as a member of the “The Rizzuto Show,” mornings on Hubbard’s modern/alternative rock “105.7 The Point” KPNT and in middays on classic rock sister “K-SHE 95” KSHE.
The Chicago area native succeeds the syndicated “Alice’s Attic” and joins fellow KSHE staffer Tim Virgin on “97.1 The Drive,” where he can be heard in afternoons.
“Lern is a tremendous rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle talent whose authentic delivery, engaging storytelling, and passion for the format are a perfect fit for The Drive,” said Brand and Content Director Keith Hastings. “She understands the audience, loves the music, and brings the kind of personality that listeners will connect with immediately.”
Elwell added, “I am beyond thrilled to be back in the state where my radio journey began. I’ve always loved working in rock radio, and adding the legendary WDRV call letters to my career is incredibly exciting. I can’t wait to connect with listeners across Chicago, work alongside this amazing team, and make some unforgettable memories.”
