(PR NewsChannel) / June 02, 2010 / CHICAGO / Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich today thanked listeners of his weekly radio program after top talk Chicago station WLS-AM announced this morning that, out of respect for the judicial process, it would put his show on hiatus, and shift Blagojevich to the role of contributor, until after his trial.

"I am grateful to have hosted my own show during this wilderness period.  It gave me a chance to talk to people about a host of issues and topics and also help them understand that I am not the man prosecutors have portrayed me to be and that I did not do those things they say I did.  But most importantly I want the people of Illinois to know that I did not let them down or betray their trust.  I thank all those who listened and especially the regular callers.  I look forward to coming back to the show when the trial is over and I am vindicated, perhaps in an even better time slot.

"I thank WLS for hiring me and continuing to give me a voice even with this cloud over my head.  That takes guts.  I am looking forward to clearing my name and for the truth to come out.  I am proud to be working for such a station."

Blagojevich was a live guest on WLS-AM's morning show when the station made the announcement to the public.
