CBS Radio CHR “B96” 96.3 WBBM-FM Chicago has hired Corey B for its vacant evening slot.

Corey joins the station from Entercom’s “B97” 97.1 WEZB New Orleans where he has hosted the same timeslot for the past four years. He also has worked at iHeartMedia’s 93.3 WFLZ Tampa.

Corey fills the evening vacancy at WBBM-FM created by Eric Tyler’s quick promotion to afternoons when Stylz & Roman jumped to sister “US 99.5” WUSN for mornings.

CBS RADIO Chicago’s WBBM-FM (B96) today announced the hiring of Corey B. as its new evening (7:00PM-12:00Midnight) on-air personality.

Listeners can tune in to Corey on B96 over-the-air, online at http://www.b96.com or via the Radio.com app for mobile devices.

“We believe we’ve uncovered a true diamond in the rough with Corey B.,” said Todd Cavanah, CBS RADIO Chicago VP, Programming. “In addition to driving the station over the air at night, Corey’s skill and creativity on social media is off the charts. We can’t wait to introduce him to Chicagoland later this month.”
