Cumulus Media Conservative Talk 890 WLS Chicago has announced a partnership with Fox News Audio to carry its hourly newscasts, breaking news coverage, long-form specials, and The Guy Benson Show on weekdays from 2-5pm.

Benson’s show had been added to WLS at the start of 2025 following Westwood One’s cancellation of Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles’ hourlong shows. The newscasts will start airing on WLS today.

Cumulus Chicago RVP/Market Manager Marv Nyren said, “We are thrilled to deliver the FOX News Audio product to our listeners, as it perfectly aligns with 890 WLS-AM and will give the audience a news service that meets their expectations.”

WLS Program Director Stephanie Tichenor added, “We are delighted to begin this partnership with FOX News Audio on the Big 89. FOX News is a perfect fit for WLS-AM audiences.”

Fox News Audio SVP John Sylvester noted, “FOX News Audio is excited to partner with WLS-AM, bringing our signature talk programming, breaking news coverage, top-of-the-hour updates, and long-form specials to better serve our dedicated listeners in Chicago.”
