Terri Hemmert is an absolute legend in the world of rock 'n' roll radio. She's been on the air at Chicago's WXRT (93.1 FM) radio station for 47 years, beginning with the overnight shift in 1973. In 1981, she became the city's first female morning drive personality in 1981, before moving to the midday slot in 1992 where she stayed until her retirement last year. A lifelong music lover and an OG Beatles fan, she still host's XRT's "Breakfast with the Beatles" every Sunday despite having officially retired from the radio station in 2019. A musicologist who has taught the history of rock and soul at Chicago's Columbia College and other schools for decades, in 2010 Terri was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. Her work also has been featured at the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, and in honor of her 40th anniversary on the air, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel declared December 18, 2013
"Terri Hemmert Day" in the City of Chicago.
