Chicago Radio: Country WUSN Unveils New Morning Show

Jason, Katie and Erin
Entercom has announced a new morning show on WUSN US99, Chicago’s #1 Country Station. Chicago-area native Katie Bright and Jason Pullman will host the show with contributions from Erin, weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. CT beginning on August 8.

In addition, the morning show will also feature a rotating group of contributors.

“We are thrilled to welcome this talented team to US99,” said Jimmy de Castro, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Chicago. “The team will bring country music fans an entertaining and informative live, local show that is built for Chicagoland.”

“I’m excited to make the transition back into radio,” said Bright. “I can’t wait to start out my mornings with Jason and Erin on the air.”

Bright joins Entercom from Warner Music Nashville, where she served as the National Director of Promotion. The move marks Bright’s second stint with US99, where she was previously in a sales role. Bright’s on-air career began at WAXX-FM in Eau Claire, WI on the station’s top-rated morning show, for which she later received a Marconi Radio Award. She later transitioned to the WSIX-FM morning show in Nashville.

“I look forward to getting to work with Katie and Erin to create a show that brings the country fans of Chicago a consistent home for their morning commutes,” said Pullman. “I want to bring realness, authenticity, kindness and genuineness to the audience with this new show. I want people to feel comfortable listening and to consider us a part of their family.”

Pullman is a seasoned radio personality with over 15 years of experience. Prior to joining Entercom, Pullman was an on-air host for WUBL-FM in Atlanta starting in 2009. He was previously an afternoon drive host for KYSR-FM in Los Angeles and served as voice-over talent for CBS TV, as well as for brands like Chili’s and Expedia. Pullman also appeared on TLC’s “Faking It,” ABC Family Channel’s “Perfect Match,” and has been heard on national promotions for numerous media outlets including CBS, ABC, FX and TBS.

“I’m thrilled to begin this new role and am thankful to Entercom for giving me this opportunity,” said Erin. “I look forward to learning from my new co-hosts and expanding my career with US99.”

Erin, also a Chicago native, joined Entercom in 2018 as the Lead Promotions Coordinator for US99 and sister station 104.3 JAMS (WBMX-FM). Erin is familiar to Chicago listeners as US99’s “Bachelor” expert.

Listeners can tune in US99 (WUSN-FM) in Chicago on air, as well as nationwide on the RADIO.COM app and website. Fans can also connect with the station on social media via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
