Hosted by Kim Komando, one of America’s most successful radio hosts and web entrepreneurs and a recent inductee into Chicago’s national Radio Hall of Fame, the new one-hour program is produced exclusively for WLS-AM 890 and debuts on Friday, March 25^th. The WLS-AM 890 edition of The Kim Komando Show will showcase the latest news and insights in digital-lifestyle and technology that helps improve the daily lives of Chicagoland listeners. Komando’s award-winning nationally syndicated three-hour weekend show is also heard on WLS-AM 890 every Saturday and Sunday night from 9:00pm-Midnight.

Stephanie Tichenor, Program Director, WLS-AM 890, said: “We are thrilled to have more of Radio Hall of Famer Kim Komando on the Big 89. For over 25 years, Kim has been part of the WLS-AM family, providing our listeners with the latest tech news. Now she brings that experience to Friday nights at WLS, where listeners will learn more about why tech matters.” 

Kim Komando commented: “People have different interests — politics, cars, cooking — you name it. But there is one thing that affects us all and that’s tech. It’s hard to navigate Big Tech taking our privacy along with the hackers, scammers and stalkers. You can Google anything. You can’t Google trusted advice and that’s why I am honored to be our nation’s premier digital expert. I’m thrilled that WLS sees my show worthy for the Friday schedule. Tech isn’t a hobby. It’s our lives.”
