Chicago Radio: Angela Martin Gets New Partner On WGRB

Inspirational WGRB-1390 AM, a music and talk-formatted radio station operated by CCM+E/Chicago, has introduced a new morning show:  Angela and Mark In The AM.

Mark Smith joined longstanding WGRB morning show host Angela Martin as co-hosts of the station's new morning show.  She has been a part of WGRB's morning show since the year 2000.   She most recently hosted mornings at the station with John Hannah.

Smith, whose resume includes stints as a performer in both theater and television, including plays at Chicago's famed Steppenwolf Theater and the NBC series "Chicago Fire" and ABC's "Mind Games," also is pastor of a church in west suburban Aurora, IL.

Smith said of his new role at WGRB-AM: "The 1390 family is a ministry and entertainment at its finest, and I'm looking forward to be a part of the the team."

Clear Channel Media Chicago's Director of Urban Programming Derrick Brown also is optimistic about his new team, of course: "Angela and Mark will be an incredible combination. Mark is a multi-faceted, engaging communicator, and his versatility is unparalleled."
