Detroit Radio: WWJ Revamps Line-Up


Entercom has announced a revamped weekday programming lineup for WWJ News Radio 950, Detroit’s news leader. The station will pair celebrated journalists and on-air hosts Jackie Paige and Jason Scott as their new afternoon drive team, effective December 9. Paige and Scott will be heard on air, weekdays from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. ET.

Subsequently, on-air host Brooke Allen will continue to keep listeners informed on the latest news and breaking stories on the station’s midday drive from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET. Allen will also focus on special projects including her “Difference Maker” feature, which highlights people helping others in the community.

“WWJ prides itself in being a reliable and trusted news source and this revamped lineup will allow us to better serve our listeners,” said Debbie Kenyon, Senior Vice President and Market Manager of Entercom Detroit. “Jackie and Jason’s passion for live and local news reporting will connect with listeners across metro Detroit and all of Michigan, while Brooke’s rapport with her audience will help our midday timeslot reach new heights.”

Paige has served as the station’s midday host since 2013. She has also served as an anchor for the market’s FOX television affiliate WJBK-TV. Scott was most recently an evening drive host for WWJ News Radio 950 since 2018.
