Lori & Jeff Ready To Change The Station
• Major morning show changes at Townsquare Media Portland, ME, as the company announced that after more than two decades in morning drive on Top 40 WJBQ (Q97.9), Lori Voornas and Jeff Parsons will be unplugging and moving their show across the hall to take command of mornings on AC sister 94.9 WHOM, effective May 15.
In making the announcement, Market President Sarah Dobbins noted, “After 21 years on 97.9FM WJBQ, the legendary morning show with Lori Voornas and Jeff Parsons is moving to WHOM, a powerhouse signal spanning five states and two countries from the top of Mount Washington. It’s the same fun show listeners love and with a larger megaphone. We couldn’t be more excited about the future of the station and the Morning Show with Lori and Jeff.”
Director of Content Herb Ivy commented, “Lori and Jeff are two of the best digital and radio content creators in Townsquare and are the perfect duo to take WHOM to the next level.”
Voornas remarked, “I’ve always joked my ultimate goal in radio was to take over the world. This gets me one step closer! I can’t wait to share my excitement with a brand-new audience.” Parsons added, “I’ll always have fond memories of the 26 years I spent on Q97.9, but the time is right to take the next step to WHOM. The best part is, I’m still working with all the same people I have been, including Lori.”
A new morning show for WJBQ will be announced soon.
