WGN Chicago has named Sarah Jindra and Ji Suk Yi as hosts of Spotlight Chicago, a new afternoon show the station plans to launch in the fall.
Spotlight Chicago will air weekdays from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. CT. The Nexstar Media Group-owned station — which bills itself as “Chicago’s Very Own” — said the program will focus on individuals and organizations making a difference in the community and feature visits to local attractions.

“We are very excited to launch more local programming from Chicago’s Very Own,“ WGN VP and general manager Paul Rennie said. “Spotlight Chicago reflects our ongoing commitment to serve our viewers and continue to tell stories of the good things going on in our community. Sarah and Ji will be a fantastic duo. Both are seasoned veterans who know Chicagoland inside and out.”
Jindra has been on the WGN Morning News since 2017 and has reported on traffic at the station since 2008. She joined WGN/CLTV in 2012.
Yi has been a frequent backup host on WGN’s Daytime Chicago. Recently she was with WGN radio and NewsNation. She also helmed the Chicago Sun-Times digital series “The Grid” and was with the WLS talk show Windy City Live for seven seasons.
