Audacy welcomes Tim Pamplin as a news reporter and elevates Darrylin Horne to a full-time reporter on WWJ Newsradio 950 in Detroit, the city’s top-rated AM radio station and only all-news station.

“We couldn’t be more excited for Tim to join our news team. We plan to leverage his renowned breaking news reports to provide our listeners with quality coverage of each day's top stories,” said Debbie Kenyon, Market Manager, Audacy Detroit. “We’re also looking forward to supporting Darrylin in this new role as she applies her skillful storytelling in everything from feature stories to contributions on our digital platforms.”

“My childhood dream was always to be a TV cameraman or radio reporter,” said Pamplin. “After 30-plus years on the streets for WDIV-TV as an evening cameraman, my move to WWJ Newsradio 950 is nothing but a dream come true.”

Pamplin joins WWJ Newsradio 950 after 30 years at WDIV-TV, where he was better known as Nightcam, an elusive fan favorite since 1999. He is a photojournalist and reporter with several broadcasting awards, including two Edward R. Murrow Awards and three Emmy Awards.

“I’m so grateful to continue my journey here at WWJ Newsradio 950,” said Horne. “This newsroom has allowed me to take on a variety of stories that have diversified my professional experience, and I can’t wait to continue that growth in this next chapter.”

Horne moves into her full-time role after working as a part-time producer and reporter at WWJ Newsradio 950 since 2021. Previously, she was a weekday reporter and weekend fill-in producer at WLNS-TV, floor director for WJBK-TV, sports event coordinator at BallerTV, commentator for TMZ and sales coordinator at NCC Media.
