Leslie Keiling was born and raised in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood and began working in Chicago radio as a teenager attending Columbia College. She has worked as a traffic and news reporter for the city’s top talent including Garry Meier, Steve Dahl, Larry Lujack, Jonathan Brandmeier, Herb Kent and John Landecker, just to name a few.
In early 2000, she partnered with Landecker as his co-host on WJMK before heading to WGN.
During her almost ten years at WGN she worked again on the Garry Meier show doing news and traffic……and the rest is history.
