The mid-seasons move comes after WLS 890 AM parent company, Atlanta-based Cumulus Media, filed motions earlier this month with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York seeking to nullify “a handful of extremely unprofitable contracts, including those with the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Bulls” and its deal to operate and acquire Merlin Media’s Chicago stations, WKQX 101.1 FM and WLUP 97.9 FM.
