After taking a leave of absence from Audacy AAA 93.1 WXRT Chicago in July to undergo chemotherapy, Lin Brehmer will return to the station’s lineup from 10am to 1pm on Monday, November 28.
The station tweeted that Brehmer continues to undergo treatment for cancer, writing on the station’s site at the time he began his sabbatical, “I have been fighting prostate cancer for several years. I have worked through various radiation treatments, biopsies, CT Scans, MRI’s and drug therapies. The cancer was caught early, treated early, but it has spread places one would rather it did not spread.”
Brehmer has been with WXRT since October 1984. He hosted mornings from December 1991 until January 2020 when he moved into the midday slot. Annalisa, who joined the station in June to host afternoons, has been hosting Brehmer’s midday shift in his absence
