Bill Yohnka is a modern day renaissance man - Chamber of Commerce director, stockcar racing announcer and radio personality - he does it all. The road to such success is often paved with hard work and more than a few pieces of gum that are near-impossible to get out to the treads of your shoes, but perseverance is one quality that Bill prides himself on. A good attitude towards dental hygiene is another. With well-flossed teeth, Bill set out to become the official ambassador of Kankakee. Upon realizing that this was not an actual position, Bill settled for Executive Director of Kankakee Chamber of Commerce. The Bill Yohnka Radio Program can be heard each Saturday 7:00am to 9:00am on WKAN AM 1320. Bill can also be heard every weekday morning from 6:00-8:00am on The WKAN Morning Show with Bill Yohnka, Allison Beasley and Ron Jackson.
