Remembering Jamillah Muhammad

• Our friend and former colleague Kevin Fleming of The Urban Buzz shared the very sad news that veteran programmer Jamillah “Jam” Muhammad has passed away at the age of 51 after a very private four-year battle with colon cancer. No other details are available at this time.

Muhammad was most recently VP of The Lewis-Kortez Group. Before that she was Operations Manager of Stevie Wonder-owned Urban AC KJLH/Los Angeles until June 2020. Her lengthy programming resume also includes Beasley Urban WPEG (Power 98) and Urban AC WBAV (V101.9)/Charlotte, and Radio One Urban AC WMMJ (Majic 102.3) and Gospel WPRS (Praise 104.1)/Washington until 2012. Earlier in her career Muhammad programmed WKKV (V-100)/Milwaukee and WMXD (Mix 92.3)/Detroit, and she was APD/MD of WVAZ (V103)/Chicago. She also served as Program Director for the Premiere-syndicated Keith Sweat Hotel.

According to Fleming, Muhammad will be laid to rest near her hometown of Detroit. Messages of love and condolence are posted on Jam’s Facebook page.
