760 WJR has announced new additions to its weekday lineup, with changes coming in both mornings and late afternoons.
Lloyd Jackson and Jamie Edmonds have joined the JR Mornings show alongside Guy Gordon. Gordon began hosting the daypart earlier this year after Paul W. Smith shifted to early afternoons after hosting mornings since 1996.
Jackson has covered Detroit politics and hosted several radio programs in his more than 35 years in broadcasting. Meanwhile, Edmonds joined 760 WJR in 2021 as co-host of The Sportsbook which aired on Monday evenings.
Additionally, the station has announced Renee Vitale is joining the early morning First Thing with Mike Parsons show — which airs from 5-6 AM — and will also work as the morning traffic and weather reporter.
In late afternoons, the station has enlisted former Detroit Lions star Lomas Brown and Sean Baligian to host Sportswrap with Lomas Brown and Sean Baligian. That program will air daily from 6-7 PM. The show will dissect the greater Detroit sports scene, including a focus on the NFL’s Detroit Lions, NBA’s Detroit Pistons, NHL’s Detroit Red Wings, and MLB’s Detroit Tigers.
“I am pleased that Jamie, Lloyd, Lomas, and Renee have agreed to be part of WJR’s great new lineup. They all bring a tremendous amount of experience to WJR, and our listeners are going to enjoy their contributions to this great radio station,” said WJR Program Director Ann Thomas.
“JR Morning with Guy, Lloyd and Jamie plus SportsWrap with Lomas Brown and Sean Baligian as bookends to our current big-name local daily shows on WJR has given ‘The Great Voice of The Great Lakes’ more prime time firepower than at any time in the past 20 years!”, added Cumulus Media Regional Vice President and Market Manager Steve Finateri.
