WGN 720 AM late night host Turi Ryder, who officially started with the radio station just over six months ago, announced tonight she is leaving the station.
According to Chicagoland Radio & Media, her last night on the air for WGN Radio will be Thursday.
Ryder was informed by station management that they are taking the station in a different direction and will be making changes. One of those changes was the removal of Ryder's show.
However, management gave Ryder the opportunity to do one last week of shows. Ryder called WGN-AM a "classy radio station" ad said the gesture to allow her to remain on the air through Thursday night "so lovely, so gracious."
Oddly enough, the cancellation of her show comes as she in the process of moving her family from San Fransisco, where she has been doing her show remotely, back to the Chicagoland area. That very move is taking place this week. Regardless, she is coming back home to Chicago , where she was born.
