Russ Parr Comes Home To Majic 102.3/DC
• Done Deal: Radio One Urban AC WMMJ (Majic 102.3)/Washington, DC is bringing Russ Parr back to the station, this time as afternoon host, starting Monday, April 27. He will replace the Reach Media-syndicated DL Hughley Show.
Parr is certainly no stranger to Majic 102.3 audiences — he previously hosted mornings on the station via his syndicated Russ Parr Morning Show until it ceased production in late 2023. “We are bringing Russ Parr back home where he belongs… to Majic 102.3! Afternoon drive in the DMV will never be the same again,” says Eddie Harrell Jr., Co-President of Urban One’s Audio Division. “His unique ability to connect with our audience is second to none and we look forward to his return!”
“Russ’s voice, vision and connection to the community are unmatched,” says Arthur “A-Plus” Willis, Operations Manager of Urban One’s DC cluster. “We’re excited for our listeners to experience that energy every afternoon on Majic 102.3.”
Parr will also be reunited with his longtime team, including co-host/Executive Producer Tanisha Nichole, DJ Sixth Sense delivering a weekday mix at 5pm, and Alfredas with the Daily Horrorscope, along with other beloved characters listeners have enjoyed throughout the years.
“It’s an honor to have another opportunity to serve the people of the DMV by coming back to Majic,” Parr said. “I’m looking forward to re-engaging my 37 listeners.”
The revised Majic 102.3 weekday lineup looks like this — 6-10am: The Rickey Smiley Morning Show; 10am-3pm: VJ in the Midday with Vic Jagger; 3-7pm: The Russ Parr Show; 7-Midnight: Love and R&B with KG Smooth.
