Chicago Radio B96's Stylz And Roman Moving To Mornings On WUSN

CBS Radio has announced that Doug Stylz and Justin Roman have gone Country and will become the new morning show on WUSN 99.5 FM starting September 6.

The duo have been the highly-rate afternoon show on clustermate Top40 WBBM 96.3 FM for the past 10 years.

Doug Stylz and JustinRoman are lifelong Chicagoans who both started as promotion interns at B96 before they were teamed as evening co-hosts in 2004. Two years later they moved up to afternoon drive, according to Chicago Media writer Robert Feder.

Succeeding the duo in afternoons at B96 will be Eric Tyler, who was just hired as evening host. Tyler, a native of Rockford, Illinois, spent nine years at KBKS in Seattle, Washington, as afternoon personality, assistant program director and music director.

The moves are part of “refreshing” of US 99 under Todd Cavanah, vice president of programming for CBS Radio Chicago, and Jeff Kapugi, program director. On Monday, the station rebranded itself “US 99 Chicago’s Hottest Country.”

“This is a welcome and exciting refresh for this heritage Chicago brand,” Tim Pohlman, CBS Radio Chicago senior vice president and market manager, said in a statement. “Stylz and Roman are quality guys that work hard, play hard and can’t wait to engage the country music fans of Chicago. This is the perfect next step for these two talented personalities. I am very excited about the future of their show and about US 99.”
