The move to WDRV marks a reunion for Sherman and Tingle, as they previously spent five years together hosting afternoons, then mornings on WKQX (Q101) in Chicago, from 2007 to 2011. The duo split after Q101 changed ownership and flipped to an all-news format, which resulted in the release of all staffers. Tingle went on to co-host mornings at Beasley Broadcasting’s WRDW (Wired 96.5) in Philadelphiaand was part of a team at WSTR Star 94) Atlanta.
Brian Sherman enjoyed a short hiatus from the industry in 2011 and later joined Matrix Broadcasting’s Classic Rock WFXF (The Fox)/Crystal Lake, IL, where he has hosted mornings for several years.
WDRV PD Rob Cressman says, "This is a very exciting new chapter for The Drive. We are eager to welcome Brian (Sherman) and Steve (Tingle) back to Chicago and look forward to offering our region’s commuters a fresh take on Classic Rock, captivating entertainment and local information each morning."
