The open slot in ENTERCOM News-Talk WCCO-A/MINNEAPOLIS' lineup, left vacant with the retirement of JOHN HINES, will be filled with crosstown TEGNA NBC affiliate KARE-TV weekend anchor CORY HEPOLA.   HEPOLA joined morning man DAVE LEE on the air TODAY to announce his career change, which begins with his first WCCO show 9a-noon (CT) on JANUARY 7th.

HEPOLA said, “Growing up in PERHAM, MINNESOTA, just seeing or hearing the iconic call letters -- WCCO -- gives me chills. The history here is amazing; for nearly 100 years, brilliant people have been laying a successful foundation of respect and trust at WCCO RADIO. I'm thankful to be adding my voice, energy, and personality to this already incredibly talented staff."

“We have a wonderful opportunity here to inform, unite, inspire, to creatively entertain, and to help others. This is a big responsibility and one I'm excited to take on with this amazing team," added HEPOLA.

SVP/Market Manager SHANNON KNOEPKE said, “We are very excited to welcome CORY to our team of reputable broadcasters and are looking forward to incorporating his wealth of knowledge and warm personality into the airwaves on WCCO RADIO.”
