Philly Radio: WRNB Makes Morning, Afternoon Changes

WRNB 100.3 FM has announced new hosts for its morning and evening drive-time shows, premiering on Jan. 4. The 6-10 a.m. time slot will mark the debut of “The Quincy Harris Morning Show with K-Fox.”

According to The Philadelphia Tribune, Harris, the popular radio personality formerly known as “Q Deezy,” is host of “The Q,” a weekday talk and variety show airing at noon on Fox 29. Prior to beginning his current hosting stint on “The Q,” Harris, who grew up in Germantown and graduated from Temple University, appeared locally on Hot 107.9’s “The Q Deezy Show” and in guest spots on Fox 29’s “Good Day Philadelphia.”

“This has been a dream!” Harris said during the announcement, which took place Monday during Karen Vaughn’s mid-day broadcast on 100.3 WRNB. “I wanted to do radio, I wanted to do TV, and I wanted to do it at the same time, and for this to happen, I’m like — ‘This is crazy!’

“I’ve done radio in the past, and I was missing it. A lot of times in the past, I felt like it was about... not my agenda, but it was a little more ego involved than it should have been. I went through things, and then I got to TV, and it was like, ‘Man! This ain’t about me! I have a lot of mentors and I was like ‘Yo! We’re here to serve the community! We’re here to ask the questions you want to know about — we’re here to be in the community.

“I know a lot of people here, they just mail it in...we’re not here to mail it in! We’re here to really touch the community and be out in Philly, Norristown, South Jersey — We’re here to be part of the community. “I’m beyond ecstatic!”

“The Quincy Harris Morning Show with K-Fox,” which will broadcast from the Fox 29 studios, replaces the syndicated “Tom Joyner Morning Show.”

“We are very excited for Quincy as he expands his reach in our market,” Fox 29 Vice President and News Director, Jim Driscoll, said in a statement. “We look forward to working with WRNB on this new venture, as Quincy will be broadcasting his radio show from the Fox 29 studios. Quincy will continue to host his show ‘The Q’ on Fox weekdays at 12 noon and 12:30 a.m. He will also continue his appearances on ‘Good Day Philadelphia.’”
