In between, the station will debut “Post-Modern Radio, 104.5” hosted by Jaxon from 12-1pm. The show will focus on Alternative music from the late 1980s through early 2000s. Jaxon, who will continue to host mornings at iHeart Classic Rock “Big 100 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/259336/jaxon-takes-mornings-at-big-100-washington/)” WBIG-FM Washington DC, spent 18 years in Philadelphia hosting afternoons on Rock 93.3 WMMR from 2004 until October 2022.

She and Miller traded timeslots in February 2022 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/220578/wrff-makes-lineup-flip-flop/). Mike Jones, who has hosted afternoons at the station since 2012 from his base at “DC 101 (https://dc101.com/)” WWDC Washington, will slide to evenings from 7pm to 12am.
The station describes the new ?Post-Modern Radio? as “a destination for enthusiasts of Philadelphia?s rich alternative music heritage and will showcase Jaxon?s knowledge and passion for this iconic moment in music from the late 80s through the early 2000s. Listeners can expect a curated playlist peppered with artist stories and an exploration of the socio-cultural impact of this pivotal era in music history.”
Program Director Mike Kaplan states, “We?re all incredibly excited to welcome Jaxon back home to Philly and into the ALT 104.5 team. He?s got a proven track record of captivating audiences and a pure desire for the music and all things Philadelphia. Welcome home Jaxon!?
“I am beyond thrilled to be joining the incredibly talented team at Alt 104.5 in my beloved home of Philadelphia,? said Jaxon. ?I’ve been a fan of 104.5 since their inception. I want to extend my gratitude to the iHeart team for their unwavering support in making this homecoming a reality. Philly, I’ve missed you terribly and I can’t wait to get started. Let’s do this!?
