Philadelphia radio personality Paul Jaxon is returning to familiar territory, as iHeartMedia has announced he will rejoin modern/alternative rock station Alt 104.5 for middays beginning January 20.
Jaxon will handle the weekday 10 a.m.–2 p.m. shift, a role he most recently held at the station in 2024. As part of the schedule, he will also once again host the station’s Post Modern Radio 104.5 hour from noon to 1 p.m. A specialty block that blends alternative staples with deeper catalog selections from the 1980s through the early 2000s.
The move marks another chapter in a three-decade broadcasting career that has been closely tied to the Philadelphia market. Jaxon first arrived in the city in 2004, joining WMMR, where he became a fixture in afternoon drive for 18 years.
His tenure there established him as one of the market’s more recognizable rock voices before a transition to iHeartMedia in recent years In 2023, Jaxon took on a morning show role at iHeartMedia’s classic rock outlet Big 100 in Washington, D.C. He later added middays at Alt 104.5 in March 2024, juggling responsibilities in both markets.
That run ended in November, when iHeartMedia enacted a series of layoffs impacting multiple stations nationwide.
“Jaxon’s return reinforces Aly 104.5’s focus on authentic voices, music discovery and community connection — pillars that continue to define the station’s brand in the Philadelphia market,” iHeartMedia’s news release says. “Jaxon, a familiar and trusted voice to Philadelphia audiences, brings a deep connection to the artists, scenes and listeners that shaped the market’s alternative sound.”
