The surprise move came as Hubbard Radio executives said they wanted “a fresh set of eyes” to oversee their three blue chip Chicago stations — hot adult-contemporary WTMX 101.9 FM FM, classic hits WDRV 97.1 FM and adult contemporary WILV 100.3 FM.
Drew Horowitz, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Hubbard Radio, will serve as interim market manager until a successor is named.
“We’ve been very successful, and we’ve got enviable operations in Chicago,” Horowitz said in an interview. “But with the short and long-term challenges we’re facing, we believe we needed to get a fresh set of eyes to help map strategies and tactics for the future. We didn’t see enough new thinking to continue the success that we’ve sustained for so long.”
Saying Schnacke was “personally beloved by everyone inside the stations and in the marketplace,” Horowitz added: “Jerry has been an integral part of the past and current success of the stations. I have nothing but the utmost respect personally and professionally for him. I wish him nothing but success in whatever he chooses to do.”
