Cumulus Media has announced (11/1) some moves in AM and PM Drive for Detroit’s 760 WJR-AM.

Michigan residents are waking up to a brand-new era of morning radio on 760 WJR with the all new “JR Morning with Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie” from 6 - 9 a.m. hosted by Guy Gordon, Lloyd Jackson, and Jamie Edmonds.

Detroit radio mainstay, Renee Vitale, also joins the morning team as Co-Host of “First Thing with Mike Parsons” from 5 - 6 a.m. and as WJR’s Morning Traffic and Weather Reporter. Detroit sports fans will also be pleased to know that Detroit Lions great, Lomas Brown and WJR’s Sean Baligian can be heard at the end of the day from 6 - 7 p.m. hosting “Sportswrap with Lomas Brown and Sean Baligian,” a show that provides in-depth sports analysis and compelling interviews from the world of sports.

A seasoned broadcast journalist, Guy Gordon is celebrating more than 40 years as a reporter, anchor, and talk show host. He was recognized with two Emmy Awards for Best Anchor and six Emmy Awards for Best Writing, Reporting, and Documentary.

She went on to receive a graduate degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.

Lloyd Jackson has covered city politics and hosted several talk shows, including “Ask the Mayor,” “Ask the Governor,” and “The Big Story,” which aired nightly and was an in-depth recap of the day’s big news stories. He has spent more than 35 years in the broadcasting business and is the recipient of numerous broadcast awards from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, the Associated Press, and The Society of Professional Journalists.

Lomas has been inducted into the Lions’ Ring of Honor at Ford Field on October 30, 2023, and he has also been named Grand Marshall of America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade presented by Gardner White set to take place in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day.

Renee Vitale, the newest addition to the 760 WJR traffic and weather reporting team, is a native of Southeast Detroit and has spent 24 of her 25 years in radio on Detroit airwaves.

Steve Finateri, Regional Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus Media, said: “JR Morning with Guy, Lloyd and Jamie plus SportsWrap with Lomas Brown and Sean Baligian as bookends to our current big-name local daily shows on WJR has given “The Great Voice of The Great Lakes” more prime time firepower than at any time in the past 20 years!”

Ann Thomas, Program Director, 760 WJR, said: “I am pleased that Jamie, Lloyd, Lomas and Renee have agreed to be part of WJR’s great new lineup. They all bring a tremendous amount of experience to WJR, and our listeners are going to enjoy their contributions to this great radio station.”
