WGN Radio Extends Host Bob Sirott

Bob Sirott hosts morning drive weekdays on AM 720, 6 am to 10 am

CHICAGO (February 5, 2025) – WGN Radio today announced a multi-year extension with morning show host Bob Sirott who is heard 6 am to 10 am weekdays.

“Management has given me a terrific on-air and behind-the-scenes team, plus freedom to do whatever I want,” said Bob Sirott. “That’s why waking up at 4:30 am is fun now. Actually…that last line is a lie.”

Sirott has been the station’s morning drive host since 2020. Listeners can expect to hear hyper-local stories along with news and conversations related to health, tech, business, travel, entertainment, lifestyle, and where to find the best Chicago-style hot dog.

“Bob’s work ethic, focus and character is the stuff of legends in the broadcast industry,” said WGN Radio Vice President and General Manager Mary Sandberg Boyle. “He’s an excellent communicator and continues to strategically engage and connect with the WGN Radio audience daily. Bob is one of the best in the business and we’re proud to have him as part of the WGN Radio team.”

Generations of Midwesterners have grown up with lifelong Chicagoan Bob Sirott whose acclaimed broadcast career spans five decades as a radio host and DJ and television news anchor. Sirott is a national Emmy award-winning journalist who received a 2022 Dante Award from the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans and a 2022 Silver Dome Award from the Illinois Broadcasters Association.
