Jonathon Brandmeier hits Internet Radio three weeks after leaving WGN 720 AM

Three weeks after Jonathon Brandmeier signed off as morning personality at WGN AM 720, he’s back behind a microphone — and out of control.

Starting today, Brandmeier will be heard live from 6 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday online at WGN.fm, a virtual station being designed to incorporate audio, video and social media components. Today’s show had been billed as a one-time test, but instead will air each weekday “for the foreseeable future,” according to Jimmy deCastro, president and general manager of the Tribune Broadcasting news/talk station and related media ventures.

“Johnny doesn’t want a lot of hoopla or a whole bunch of publicity,” deCastro said. “He just wants to go on and do his show and connect with his audience.”
