After co-anchoring mornings on Entercom News 780 WBBM Chicago/105.9 WCFS-FM Elmwood Park IL since 1984, Felicia Middlebrooks will exit the station as of May 29.
Middlebrooks is launching Saltshaker Productions to focus on long form storytelling on a multi-media platform, which will include documentaries and feature films, audiobooks and other projects. In a Facebook post announcing her move, Middlebrooks states her first project will be a female empowerment podcast titled She Matters. She states that she has been planning the transition away from WBBM for nearly a decade in which time she returned to Purdue University to receiver her MBA and a degree in film.
Middlebrooks has anchored mornings alongside Pat Cassidy for most of the past two decades outside of a two year stretch where Cassidy departed the station from 2008-2010. She has also been paired with John Hultman from 1984-1998 and 2008-2010 and Ken Herrera from 1998-2000 during her 35+ year tenure at WBBM.
