It appears constituents in the 8th Congressional District will be able to still hear from Joe Walsh.
The former congressman, defeated last November by Rep. Tammy Duckworth, has inked a deal for a daily, two-hour radio show on Rolling Meadows-based WIND-AM (560).
The news was first reported Wednesday by Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder.
While there had been no official confirmation from station officials as of late Thursday, Walsh has -- on his new official Twitter account -- retweeted a congratulatory message from the organization "Americans for Prosperity."
@walshfreedom Congrats Joe on the coming WIND show! We look forward to tuning in. — AFP Illinois (@afpillinois) March 7, 2013
He's also spoken to The Daily Herald, telling a reporter on Wednesday the contract would "probably get done within the next day or so."
His program will air from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. beginning March 18 on the Salem Communications conservative news/talk station.
