Departing KiSS 103.5-FM night talent Silly Jilly pictured with Lady Gaga and Akon.
After just over two years in the position, there are reports that Clear Channel CHR WKSC (103.5 KISS-FM) night host Silly Jilly is leaving town. Ms Jilly is apparently heading to Houston to take over a similar position at a similar station, CBS Radio’s CHR KKHH (Hot 95.7). Sources quote S.J. as saying she will depart at the end of her contract and that while she’s enjoyed her time in Chicago, this new position, “made a lot more sense for me.”
What makes the move especially surprising is that S.J. is a Chicago-area native. Her page on the KISS 103.5 Web site says, “I'm a south side girl, born and raised, so yes I am a Sox fan! (I get so much crap for that around the station) “But the very next paragraph sheds some light on the decision. Houston’s allure may be driven by the local cuisine, “I love food and eating. I will never say no to a late night taco place and could probably eat Mexican food every day of my life.”
No word yet on what plans KISS 103.5 program director Rick Vaughn has for replacing the hole created by S.J. moving south.

Rick Vaughn is destoying what Rick Gillette had built up. The hiring of Angie in the morning is a mistake, the implosion of the once proud promotions team, and now one of their most popular Dj's ... I once loved what this station was doing now I hope b96 makes a huge comback.
Yeah, I agree B is so much better now!! I once met a guy from KISS, Alex and he was such a cool guy, he'over at Jack FM now and now Silly Jilly is leaving.. Oh yeah listening to Angie is like nails on the chalkboard!!

Lady Gaga e Akon são muitos bons. Queria curtir um dueto entre os dois, seria arrasador!!!
