Chanley Named MD/PM Drive, WXRT/Chicago

Chanley currently anchors afternoon drive at public, member-supported Triple A KCSN (88.5, The SoCal Sound)/Los Angeles. Chanley broke the news to SoCal Sound listeners Wednesday morning during a special guest appearance on Mornings with Nic Harcourt & Jet. “However much you think this station has meant to me, it’s meant more,” Chanley said. “Listeners often tell us that The SoCal Sound has seen them through tough times like the pandemic. But, actually, this station and these listeners saw me through the pandemic. They saw me through Stage 3 cancer. They saw me through the last six years of my life, and for that, I am forever grateful.” -- RAMP
