Berk comes to Chicago from New York City, where she was Co-Host of the Kim & Kane Show on WWFS-FM from 2009 to 2015. She also co-hosted the successful Jim & Kim Morning Show on WWFS. Prior to that, the morning duo of Jim & Kim was on-air for eight years at WKJY-FM in Long Island, NY. Berk began her radio career in Cincinnati and spent several years hosting Middays at WLIR-FM in Long Island. She spent part of her childhood in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights.

Peter Bowen, Vice President/Market Manager for Cumulus Media Chicago said: “We are fortunate that phenomenal talent like Kim was available to join Brant and the morning team on WLS-FM. This is another piece of the puzzle that will bring WLS back to the top.”

Brian Thomas, Program Director for WLS-FM and Corporate Program Director for Cumulus Media said: “I’m already a big fan because of hers, because she was Top 5 when we worked together in New York while I was the PD of Fresh 102.7 New York”.

Berk said: “I really want to thank Mike McVay, SVP/Content & Programming and Peter Bowen for making this happen and I’m looking forward to working with Brant Miller and Brian Thomas again, this time in the very exciting city of Chicago.”
