For the past two months, Lauren Rew has patiently waited on the sidelines to announce her next move. On Monday, the wait was finally over.
The former midday host and program director of 107.9 The Franchise in Tulsa has moved to the sunshine state to join 1010XL/92.5 FM in Jacksonville. Yesterday was her first day with her new radio station.
As part of Rew’s new role, she’ll co-host Midday Chalk with Rick Ballou and Tony “T-Wigg” Wiggins, weekdays from Noon to 3pm ET. Rew will also serve as the station’s assistant program director, co-host the Tuesday evening show Helmets and Heels, and contribute to the station’s Jacksonville Jaguars pre-game show.
