Days after the Rise & Grind Morning Show departed Power 99 in Philadelphia, the station has added The Breakfast Club to morning drive.
Mikey Dredd and MuthaKnows — two of the hosts of the Rise & Grind Morning Show — departed the station earlier this week amid ongoing nationwide layoffs at iHeartMedia. Roxy Romeo — one of the other co-hosts — will move to a different daypart on the station.
In its place, the company has added the morning show helmed by Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious, and is distributed by Premiere Networks. The show is based at Power 105.1 in New York.
“The Breakfast Club has remained a cultural touchstone for over a decade, connecting millions of listeners with the biggest names in music, entertainment, and politics,” iHeartMedia Executive Vice President of Programming Thea Michem said.
“It’s unique blend of candid conversation, humor and insight keeps it as relevant today as ever, shaping culture while giving a platform to voices that matter,” Michem concluded.
The Breakfast Club will begin in morning drive on Power 99 on Monday, October 13th.
