Hoge will sign on this week as the regional sports network's new multiplatform White Sox Insider.

Before joining WGN in 2014 Hoge was a host and producer at Entercom sports/talk WSCR 670-AM.

Born and raised in Lincoln Park, he's a graduate of St. Ignatius College Prep and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

At WGN Hoge also served as manager of digital sports content.

Mike Thomas, market manager for ESPN Chicago, confirmed that Jonathan Hood will host the new show from 6 to 7 p.m. weeknights, starting March 23. It follows the recent addition of a weekly hockey show co-hosted by Brian Hanley and Pat Boyle. Both moves may be seen as precursors to ESPN 1000's new management making a run at White Sox and Blackhawks radio play-by-play rights, now held by WGN.
