Hey Pappy, I think Pat Cassidy just took your WLS offer.

Pat Cassidy quits Newsradio 780 for WLS

Pat Cassidy, who’s been a morning star on Chicago radio for more than 30 years, resigned Wednesday as one of the top anchors at all-news WBBM-AM (780).

He is expected to jump to Citadel Broadcasting news/talk WLS-AM (890), where he presumably would re-invent himself as a talk show host in a time slot to be determined.

The move was confirmed by Rod Zimmerman, senior vice president and market manager of CBS Radio Chicago and general manager of Newsradio 780.

“Pat told me he wants to do a talk show, and we wish him well,” Zimmerman said. “He’s done a great job for us for eight years.”

Cassidy’s last day on the air coincided with the expiration of his contract. After several months of talks with CBS, he turned down a renewal offer.
