Holleman Wakes Up Back In Detroit
The move marks a return to Entercom Detroit for Holleman, who was an on-air personality for sister WDZH (98.7 The Breeze) from 2015-16, back when it was 98.7 AMP Radio. Since 2016 Holleman has done afternoon drive for Hubbard’s WIL-FM (New Country 92.3)/St. Louis. He started his radio career in 2007 at WWBN/Flint, MI.
“As the home of Detroit’s best Country, we look forward to integrating Josh’s fun and energetic style into our award-winning morning show alongside Rachael and Steve,” said Debbie Kenyon, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Detroit. “His impressive knowledge of the Country music landscape and familiarity with our city as a native Detroiter will add a unique layer to our morning programming and help deliver a fresh, dynamic listening experience for our listeners to kick off their days.”
Holleman said, “Doing mornings in Detroit is an absolute dream of mine. Imagine my excitement when I got the call to work with an already established, award-winning team in the Motor City on the legendary WYCD. I want to thank Tim Roberts [RVP & Entercom Country Format Captain & Brand Manager of WYCD] and Debbie Kenyon for making it all possible. Country music is a part of the fabric of Detroit, and I couldn’t be happier to be back.”
Brooks previously worked at Cumulus Top 40/Country combo WHTS & WTNR/Grand Rapids, MI and NRG Media Top 40 WHTQ (Hot 96.7)/Wausau-Stevens Point, WI. He makes his Gateway City debut on Oct. 12.
In a related story, RAMP has confirmed that WIL-FM, formerly New Country 92.3, has rebranded simply as “92.3 WIL,” and has relocated “New Country” into its updated slogan, “New Country For The StL.”
