B'Ham Radio: Joe & Jon Replacing Matt & Scot At WJOX

Sports-talk station WJOX 94.5 FM will debut a new radio show Wednesday hosted by Joe Hunk and Jon Lunceford.

Their show, "Jox PrimeTime," will air weekdays from 6 to 8 p.m., following Paul Finebaum's show, and it replaces the "Matt & Scot" show, which was hosted by Matt McClearin and Scot Harrison. WJOX canceled that show, which ran for 3½ years, last week.

"It's going to continue to be live and local," David Walls, vice president/market manager for WJOX parent company Cumulus Birmingham, said of the new "Jox PrimeTime" show. "It's going to be a lot of energy."

According to al.com, Lunceford, who played on two state high school championship football teams and later at Birmingham Southern-College, has worked in newspaper and radio for about a decade. He produces on-air high school sports coverage for WJOX, and earlier this year, he started the JoxPreps podcast.

Hunk, who played college baseball at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, is an 11-year radio veteran who previously worked at WUMP 730 AM (SportsRadio 730 The UMP) before joining WJOX in 2013. He has hosted the Saturday morning show "Jox Gameday" on WJOX for the past 3½ years.
