CBS Country US 99 99.5 WUSN Chicago has named Dougie Stylz Bobrowski and
Justin Roman as their new morning show. The pair move over from sister CHR
B96 WBBM-FM where they were most recently hosting afternoons.

They will replace Lisa Dent and Ramblin Ray Stevens. The latter jumped to
Cumulus News/Talk 890 WLS last week leading to Dents exit. The station
itself is giving itself a fresh coat of paint as it returned to its former
US99 branding dropping the .5 and launching a new Chicagos Hottest Country
position statement and logo.

will make the jump to morning drive as the voices Chicagoland Country fans
wake up to Monday – Friday. Beloved for the past 12 years for their
hometown pride on CBS Radio’s B96, Dougie Stylz (Doug Bobrowski) and Justin
Roman bring a fresh excitement to US99. Their show will debut on US99
(99.5 FM), online at the us99.com and via the radio.com app for mobile
devices on Tuesday, September 6.

Words cant express how excited we are for this new chapter in not only our
careers, but our lives as well,“ said Stylz & Roman. “Were beyond blessed
to be able to move from one legendary station to anotherthis truly is a
dream come true!

“They’re part owners of a Wrigleyville Country bar, so we knew they could
authentically speak the language of the Country music fan� remarked CBS
Radio VP Programming Todd Cavanah.

The addition of Stylz & Roman to a re-freshed US99 marks the culmination of
months of tweaking designed to better reflect what Chicago Country music
fans want in their favorite radio station.

“Today’s Country superstars are putting out hot songs, and we deliver the
hottest access to the most in-demand experiences in town,� said Jeff
Kapugi, CBS RADIO Vice President, Country Programming and Program Director,
WUSN. “Chicagoland listeners want to hear longer stretches of commercial
free country songs and we deliver that along with a relevant and
entertaining morning show rooted in Chicago.�

“This is a welcome and exciting refresh for this heritage Chicago brand,�
said Tim Pohlman, CBS Radio Chicago SVP/Market Manager. “Stylz & Roman are
quality guys that work hard, play hard and can’t wait to engage the country
music fans of Chicago. This is the perfect next step for these two
talented personalities. I am very excited about the future of their show
and about US99.�
