Letty B Joins Chicago’s ‘B96.’

Audacy rhythmic CHR “B96” WBBM-FM Chicago welcomes Letty B as its new midday host (9am-2pm).

She joins the station from iHeartMedia where she most recently co-hosted mornings at the former hot AC WMIA Miami – now Spanish AC “Magic 93.9.” She also hosted various dayparts at CHR KIIS (102.7) and AC KOST (103.5) in Los Angeles, KHTS (93.3) in San Diego, and KYLD (94.9) in San Francisco. She previously worked for CBS Radio on KMVQ-FM (99.7) in San Francisco.

“Letty has a wealth of experience at iconic stations across the country, and we’re excited to bring her to the Chicago airwaves,” WBBM-FM Brand Director Molly Cruz said in a release. “Her vibrant energy and passion for radio make her the perfect addition to the team.”

Letty B added, “I’m delighted to be joining the legendary B96! Huge thanks to Kevin Cassidy and Molly Cruz for helping make this dream come true, and to Michael Martin for being a mentor through the years. I can’t wait to hit the ground running with the Audacy Chicago team and build connections with our listeners.”

She succeeds Jeana Shepard, who moved to mornings upon the discontinuation of “The Morning Mess” in February 2024.
