Deanna Marie has stepped away from her evening role at Midwest Communications’ Mix 92.9 in Nashville, ending a run of just over a year hosting Real Life with Deanna. Marie extended her appreciation for the listeners and staff who welcomed her to the market.
“I’m grateful for the experience and growth during my time here and appreciate the connections made along the way,” Marie said in a statement to Barrett Media. “A big thanks to the listeners who made me Nashville’s No. 1 night show!”
Her time in Nashville followed a steady climb through multiple formats and markets. Marie joined Mix 92.9 in July 2024 after spending several years in Philadelphia. She handled weekends and swing shifts for Beasley Media Group’s Active Rock WMMR and Classic Rock WMGK, in addition to work at AC Magic 98.3 in Somerset, New Jersey.
The New Jersey native began her career far from home in Reno, Nevada getting her start as morning co-host at Top 40 Alice 96.5. That opportunity led her back east, where she became a familiar voice in Wilmington, Delaware, as part of Deanna and Justin in the Morning with Justin Franiak on Beasley’s former Mix 99.5.
Deanna is seeking new opportunities in the Nashville area “ready to bring creativity, commitment, and authenticity to the right fit.”
