Steve Cochran

On September 3, 2013, Cochran began hosting the morning show at WGN 720.

Cochran returned to Chicago airways on October 3, 2011, via AM 560 WIND. His show ended on June 29, 2013. He also hosted the midday show at KTRS in St. Louis from 2010–2013.

WGN management decided not to renew Cochran's contract in mid-2010. His final day on the air was June 25, 2010. He returned to the station in July 2013. Steve was let go from WGN radio on December 20, 2019.

Cochran was adopted. On June 4, 2003, he had his birth mother, Ann Sommers, as a guest on his show.

Cochran was originally hired by WGN in early 2000 as a substitute host in various rotating shifts. He became a regular host unexpectedly after morning drive time host, Bob Collins, was killed in a collision while piloting his private airplane. To replace Collins, Spike O'Dell moved from afternoon drive to morning drive, John Williams moved from mid-afternoon to afternoon drive and Cochran filled the mid-afternoon time slot. The Williams and Cochran shows swapped time slots in 2007.

In 1993, he had a cameo as a TV weather man in the film Grumpy Old Men.

Between 1981 and 2007, Cochran worked at 14 radio stations in 10 cities (including New York, Baltimore, Miami, Minneapolis (KDWB 101.3 FM), St. Louis, Detroit, and Chicago) and 8 states.
