Core Radio Group has locked in Yung Joc for two more years. The hip-hop personality will continue leading mornings on Streetz 94.5 WWSZ in the Atlanta market.
What We Know: Yung Joc has hosted mornings on WWSZ since November 2016, building one of the market’s most recognizable shows. He is currently joined by co-hosts Mz. Shyneka and Shawty Shawty. The show also airs nationally through Superadio Networks across more than 15 markets. Additionally, Streetz TV has expanded the program’s reach into the visual media space.
What They Said: Yung Joc reflected on the renewal with enthusiasm. “Core Radio Group gave me the platform to connect with the culture in a whole new way,” he said. “With Super Radio taking us into over 15 markets and Streetz TV bringing us to your screens, we’ve built something incredibly special. We’re turning the energy up even higher for the next two years.” Core Radio Group CEO Steve Hegwood added that signing Joc was a top organizational priority, calling him a premier media personality.
What Remains Unclear: The financial terms of the extension have not been disclosed. It is also unclear how many additional markets Superadio may target during the contract period. The specific scope of upcoming digital initiatives and community activations has yet to be detailed publicly.
What It Means: This extension signals Core Radio Group’s confidence in personality-driven, multi-platform programming. By combining terrestrial radio, national syndication, and visual content, the company is building a model beyond traditional broadcast. Furthermore, Joc’s long tenure in Atlanta gives the show deep cultural roots to expand from. This deal reinforces that local authenticity and national reach can coexist effectively.
