She then moved to Detroit with brief stints hosting nights at iHeartMedia CHR “Channel 95.5” WKQI, co-hosting mornings at Cumulus Media’s “New Country 93.1” and local Sports startup (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/177519/krissy-t-joins-channel-95-5-detroit-for-nights/) Woodward Sports until a Cumulus lawsuit over breach of contract.
Townsquare Media today announced that popular Portland personality Krissy T will take the morning host reins at the market?s Top 40 station, 97.9FM WJBQ. She joins from Hot Adult Contemporary WMGX-FM.
Krissy says, ?The opportunity to come back home and take over a 20+ year legacy morning show as my own, and on such a heritage station, is not only an honor but also so exciting. I can?t wait to unapologetically overshare my life again with Maine!?
Ms. T takes over for 21-year morning mainstays Jeff Parsons and Lori Voornas, who migrate to Townsquare AC 94,9 WHOM hosting mornings staring May 15.
Market President Sarah Dobbins adds, ?When you move one of the most successful morning shows in a generation, you better have an exciting replacement. One of Maine?s top media personalities, Krissy is joining the Townsquare Media family and will host ?Krissy in the Morning? on Q97.9. As one of Maine media?s top social media influencers, Krissy will bring her energy and personality to Maine?s legendary Q97.9. Our morning show lineup in Portland just got stronger.?
Q97.9 Brand Manager Jadd Naamani is ecstatic about the latest addition to his station: ?I couldn?t be more excited to collaborate and crush it with this superstar giving Maine a new way to wake up every day!?
