I just think the community didn’t embrace it as much as they did other morning news programs.” “It’s not to say there wasn’t a lot of heart and soul put into it for sure. “ ‘You & Me’ had a great team of people behind the scenes and hosts who were committed to the show,” said Steve Bailey, head of local programming and creative for The U. Until last March it was hosted by Jeanne Sparrow and Melissa Forman, two genial and talented former radio personalities. Monday through Friday “The Jam” will replace “You & Me,” the talk and entertainment show that aired for more than seven years on The U but never made a dent in the ratings. It’s the station’s latest effort to draw the 25-to-54 audience and cash in on the advertising bonanza at sunrise.įrom 6 to 8 a.m. Sometime later this summer - an exact date has not been announced - WCIU-Channel 26 will launch “The Jam,” a live two-hour morning news show with a decidedly youthful, urban edge.
The hosts have been hired, the set is being built and rehearsals are underway on what Weigel Broadcasting promises will be “a whole new fresh take” on morning television for Chicago. Hosts of “The Jam” (from left): Jordan Cornette, Danielle Robay and Felicia Lawrence
