Market vet John Gallagher, who once ran WLS 890 AM for ABC Radio and Citadel Broadcasting, is returning to Chicago to oversee the three Hubbard Radio stations, according to Chicago Media blogger Robert Feder.

Hubbard Radio COO Drew Horowitz has appointed Gallagher VP/Market Manager of Hubbard Radio/Chicago, which includes hot adult-contemporary WTMX 101.9 FM, classic hits WDRV 97.1 FM and adult contemporary WILV 100.3 FM.

He starts August 18 and succeeds Jerry Schnacke, who was forced out last April after 17 years in Chicago with Hubbard Radio and its predecessor, Bonneville International.

“John is the perfect person to lead our great brands in Chicago,” Drew Horowitz, president and chief operating officer of Hubbard Radio, said in a statement. “John has a proven track record as an operator and has the benefit of Chicago experience, which gives him insight into the market. I’m thrilled to have someone of John’s caliber and experience segueing into this very critical position for Hubbard Radio Chicago.”
