Jaxon Comes Home To Philly Radio

• It’s a gala homecoming for Philadelphia rock radio veteran Jaxon, who is officially rejoining iHeartMedia Alternative WRFF (ALT 104.5)/Philadelphia as midday host, effective Tuesday, Jan. 20.

Jaxon is a beloved Philly radio pro who famously spent 18 years with Beasley’s heritage Rock 93.3 WMMR, most recently in afternoon drive, until Sept. 2023, when he joined iHeartMedia Classic Rock WBIG (BIG 100)/Washington, DC to do mornings.

Jaxon’s new ALT 104.5 midday show will include the signature hour Post Modern Radio 104.5 from noon-1pm — which Jaxon hosted in 2024 — spotlighting Alternative hits and deeper cuts from the 1980s through the ’00s. Jaxon’s return reinforces ALT 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.

“We couldn’t be happier to welcome Jaxon back to where he belongs — on the Philadelphia airwaves, connecting with the listeners who’ve been part of his story for two decades,” said Dustin Matthews, ALT 104.5 Director of Programming & Brand Strategy. “With Post Modern Radio 104.5, he’ll continue to tell the stories and play the music that honors Philadelphia’s Alternative history, from the ’80s through the 2000s”

“I’m back where I belong,” said Jaxon. “I’m fired up to be rejoining Dustin Matthews and the ALT 104.5 family in Philadelphia. After two decades on the Philly airwaves, I’ve learned one thing — stepping away never lasts long. This city and its radio always pull me back.”
