Chicago Radio: WDRV Promotes Janda Lane To Music Director

Janda Lane
Hubbard Radio Chicago’s WDRV 97.1 FM The Drive Brand & Content Director Keith Hastings announced today that Janda Lane has been promoted to permanent midday show host and Music Director at The Drive.

For the past four years, Janda co-hosted afternoons with Steve Seaver before temporarily stepping in for legendary midday host Bob Stroud who semi-retired in June of 2022. Stroud will continue hosting his daily features Ten at 10 and One 45 at 1:45 during Janda’s midday program. Along with her new show, Janda will also add Music Director duties and continue to host her Marconi Award-nominated podcast, Behind The Song.

Janda says, “I am beyond thrilled to move into middays on The Drive, and am honored to fill the space around the one and only Bob Stroud’s long-standing Ten at 10 and One 45 at 1:45 features. Life is a winding road and I am so happy that the road has led me here to Chicago, to The Drive, and last and most importantly, to our awesome listeners. Thank you so much for listening!”


Brand & Content Director Keith Hastings commented on the promotion, “The Drive consists of a team that plays on a big stage at the highest level, and Janda is a perfect fit for promotion into this high profile assignment in every way I can think of. I’m elated for our audience, our clients, and our community whose experience with our brand benefits greatly from her spectacular talent, professionalism, and positivity.”

Vice President & Market Manager Jeff England added, “We are delighted to promote Janda. Her extensive knowledge of Classic Rock and immense talent are the perfect combination for our loyal listeners middays on The Drive.”
