Dee Dee Renee Crosses Columbia Street

• Cumulus Urban AC WLXC (Kiss 103.1)/Columbia, SC announces a revised on-air schedule, starting with the hire of popular market veteran Dee Dee Renee for middays, followed by PD Chris Connors, who moves from middays to afternoon drive, effective Tuesday, Sept. 8. Ms. Renee (left) crosses the street from Alpha Media rival WWDM (The Big DM 101), where she did middays. Prior to that, she co-hosted the nationally syndicated Doug Banks Radio Show for American Urban Radio Network.

Tammy O’Dell, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Columbia, SC, said, “Dee Dee Renee has captivated daytime audiences in Columbia for the past eight years. A single mother of four, including twin girls entering their second year of college, her story is that of working women everywhere. Dee Dee’s amazing energy, passion and dedication to her craft and to her audience is unmatched. She’s a winner and a welcome addition to our growing staff.”

Chris Connors (right) noted, “We’re still putting the pieces of this puzzle together. Dee Dee is going to be an integral part of our plan to captivate and entertain the Columbia audience for years to come. I’d much rather compete with her than against her, so needless to say, I’m excited to have her on our team. I look forward to reaching our goals together and to accomplishing even more amazing things in the future.”

Renee commented, “Radio has been my passion for 30 years. COVID has taken a toll on a lot of people. Knowing that, I realize people need some joy and laughter at least a few hours out of the day. Even I need that. I’m looking forward to talking and reconnecting with my radio family. Radio is my love, my passion, and after God and my family… It’s my LIFE!”
