“I have been blessed to call WGN Radio home for the past 30 years,” Manfredini said. “But at the end of the day, it’s all about the listeners.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with WGN Radio,” said Mary Sandberg Boyle, vice president and general manager of WGN Radio. In the nearly 30 years since his first appearance on WGN Radio, Lou’s presence in the media world has evolved significantly.

Creating these connections with our listeners has been, and continues to be, the very essence of WGN 720. ”
