Radio personality Julia has officially left her morning host role at Alt 98.7 in Detroit, as well as her midday slots on nine of Audacy’s CHR stations nationwide. Announcing her departure on social media, Julia reflected on nearly 15 years with the company and the decision not to renew her contract.
“This wasn’t a hasty decision,” she wrote. “I’ve known for a while it was time for me to move forward. I feel really clear-headed and energized to find the next situation for me to thrive in.”
Julia thanked listeners and colleagues for their support over the years. She noted her career growth from early promotions to becoming Detroit’s only solo female-led morning show host, while also being nationally syndicated in Top 40 formats.
“Twenty-year-old me, who got a job in promotions by dancing on a table because they told us in broadcasting school to ‘try to be memorable,’ wouldn’t believe I got to where I am now,” she said.
Her radio career began in Port Huron, Michigan. She joined WDZH in 2015 as a night host on 98.7 Amp Radio. She moved into mornings in 2018, shortly before the station shifted to Soft AC. In early 2019, Julia joined sister station B96 in Chicago, handling nights, middays, and afternoons through February 2024.
While staying with B96, Julia returned to Detroit to join the Church of Lazlo show. It aired afternoons on Alternative stations in Kansas City, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Detroit. When the show retrenched to Kansas City in August 2022, she transitioned to her current morning host role at WDZH.
Audacy has not yet announced a replacement for Julia’s morning slot at Alt 98.7 or her syndicated midday duties.
