Chicago Radio: iHM's WEBG To Add Bobby Bones

WEBG BIG 95.5, Chicago’s New Country, announced today the debut of The Bobby Bones Show, effective August 13. The Bobby Bones Show will broadcast weekday mornings from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., joining more than 120 stations across the US and Canada.

Each morning, Bobby Bones and his co-hosts Amy, Lunchbox and Eddie welcome the biggest names in Country music and entertain listeners with their unique mix of pop-culture news and information, crazy stunts and hilarious conversations. The Bobby Bones Show recently garnered its third Academy of Country Music award for National On-Air Personality of the Year, following a 2017 Country Music Association award for National Broadcast Personality of the Year, and earned Bones the title of youngest-ever inductee into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame that same year. He has also been dubbed “the most powerful man in country music” by Forbes.

“Welcome to BIG 95.5 Mornings, Bobby Bones,” said Matt Scarano, President of iHeartMedia’s Chicago Region. “We are excited to add the most recognizable name in Country Radio to our morning lineup.”
