“Hoge & Jahns” Podcast Joins CHGO, Cementing CHGO as the Premier Destination for Chicago Bears Fans

Top Bears show joins CHGO’s growing network as Adam Jahns signs on as Bears Insider, giving fans the most comprehensive, year-round coverage of the Chicago Bears

CHICAGO (July 10, 2025) — CHGO, the fastest-growing sports media platform in Chicago, announced today that the Hoge & Jahns podcast, one of the city’s most respected and widely followed shows covering the Chicago Bears, is officially joining its network. With Hoge & Jahns and CHGO Bears now under the same roof, the two most prominent Bears-specific podcasts, CHGO becomes the definitive destination for Chicago Bears coverage, delivering over 12 hours of original Bears content each week of the NFL season. No other outlet reaches more fans with greater consistency, depth, and authenticity.

This consolidation also creates a powerful opportunity for advertisers. With unmatched reach and trust, CHGO gives brands direct access to the most engaged Bears fanbase across video, audio, written, and in-person experiences — every day of the week, not just on Sundays.

Longtime hosts Adam Hoge and Adam Jahns will continue leading the show, which will maintain its signature tone, format, and chemistry while gaining a new home and stronger ties to Chicago’s most passionate fan community. 

The transition comes as veteran Bears reporter Adam Jahns also joins CHGO exclusively as its new Bears Insider, bringing his reporting, analysis, and deep connections at Halas Hall and across the NFL. Previously, Jahns spent over a decade reporting on the Bears for The Athletic and the Chicago Sun-Times.

“We’ve built Hoge & Jahns on consistency, trust, and smart football conversation,” said co-host Adam Hoge. “Bringing the show to CHGO — a place that’s become home for me and where so many passionate fans already gather — just makes sense.”

“I’ve admired what CHGO is building from afar,” said Jahns. “It’s exciting to now be a part of it — continuing the same podcast with Hoge, writing again for diehard Bears fans, and joining a talented roster of people who care deeply about this team and this city.”

Beginning July 21, Hoge & Jahns will re-launch under the CHGO banner. The show joins a robust content lineup that includes the daily CHGO Bears Podcast, Brick by Brick with Lance Briggs, and live gameday coverage throughout the season. Jahns will appear regularly on CHGO’s shows and contribute written analysis multiple times per week on the CHGO website — all accessible exclusively to CHGO “Diehards,” the company’s premium membership community.

“Our Head of Content, Tony Gill, and I are thrilled for our CHGO Diehards and Bears fans everywhere to welcome Adam Jahns and the Hoge & Jahns podcast to CHGO,” said Jake Flannigan, General Manager of CHGO. “Jahns takes great pride in his reporting, and pairing that with the on-air chemistry he and Hoge have built gives our community the most complete Bears experience in Chicago.”

“This is a big moment not just for CHGO, but for our entire network,” said Brandon Spano, CEO of ALLCITY Network, the parent company of CHGO. “We believe in building city-based sports communities — and with this addition, CHGO truly becomes the home base for Bears fans in Chicago and beyond.”
