Window To The World Communications Classical 98.7 WFMT Chicago has announced the appointment of Jan Weller as its new morning host.
Weller is on his second stint at WFMT where he currently serves as Saturday afternoon and fill-in host and podcast producer. He originally joined WFMT in 1995 and remained until 2006 before returning in 2013. He previously has held roles as a talk host at Wisconsin Public Radio and worked at WDAV Charlotte and Jefferson Public Radio.
Weller said, “WFMT has been my musical home for many years, and it’s an honor to be with our listeners to start the day. I look forward to sharing familiar favorites, new discoveries, and the sense of curiosity and joy that classical music can bring to the morning.”
Weller takes the morning spot that had been held by John Clare from January until June this year.
WFMT has also announced Kristina Lynn as weekend morning host from 7am to 12pm starting December 20. Lynn has been with WFMT since 2020 after previously working in production at WQXR New York.
She commented, “One of my favorite things about my role at WFMT is welcoming all types of listeners to classical music, whether they’re lifelong fans or just getting started. The weekend morning playlists are full of both lively and introspective musical moments, and I can’t wait to share them all with the WFMT audience.”
WFMT Head of Programming and Operations Roger Wight said, “The voices of our hosts are the heart of WFMT. I’m thrilled that listeners will enjoy friendly companionship and an inviting mix of classical music with Jan on weekdays and Kristina on weekends. Both bring an engaging presence and unique musical perspective to mornings on WFMT.”
