South Bend’s heritage CHR station U-93, 92.9 WNDV has welcomed back Jodee Woods to the market.
What We Know: Jodee Woods has returned to WNDV U-93 in South Bend after co-hosting at KUBL-FM in Salt Lake City through 2025. Woods officially rejoined the U-93 airwaves on April 20th. Earlier in her career, she also anchored mornings at U-93 from 2020 to 2023. Woods has also spent time doing mornings at Froggy 99 in Fargo, ND. Now, Jodee Woods joins Tommy Bickham, who took over the morning slot in February 2026.
What They Said: GM Pam Mason comments: “Jodee has always represented the authenticity, energy, and community focus that define our brand, and her ability to engage listeners is unmatched in our market. Simply put, U93 is better with Jodee on the air, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.”
PD Lori Bennett added: “To bring back a heritage talent to a heritage station with a host who knows, loves, and embraces the community as Jodee does is an absolute dream.”
And Jodee Woods herself said: “I am beyond grateful to return to South Bend. I’m excited to wake up every morning with Michiana alongside Tommy on U-93!”
What Remains Unclear: How Woods and Bickham’s dynamic will evolve on-air remains. Their chemistry is what ultimately determines a show’s ceiling.
What It Means: Sound Management is doubling down on local and personality-driven radio. This move signals that heritage markets still value hometown talent. For South Bend listeners, it’s a reunion worth tuning in for.
