Chicago Radio: WILV's Megan Reed Off-Air To Fight Cancer

Megan Reed
WILV 100.3 FM midday host Megan Reed has been off the air this month.

According Chicagoland Radio&Media, she will be away from the radio airwaves for a while longer as she bravely battles cancer in her breast and brain.

While seeking medical advice for pains in her back, doctors found Reed had breast cancer. That cancer has spread and tumors have been found in her head. Surgery, followed by radiation treatments will begin next week.

A veteran of Chicago radio, Reed spent nearly 12 years at WLIT-FM/The Lite (1989-2001), as well as three years at suburban WAUR-FM and WYSY-FM (1986-1989).

Filling in for Megan Reed on Chicago's 100.3 has been weekender Lisa Kosty, who joined the station earlier this year. Kosty had been with WUSN-FM/US99.5 as an occasional on-air host and its full-time morning show producer for nearly ten years before her release in November 2013.
