‘Mean Jean’ Comes Home To Hot 104.5

• Proving the old adage, “Why yes… you can go home again,” SummitMedia Rhythmic WKHT (Hot 104.5)/Knoxville is excited to announce that that, after 18 months away, former MD/night jock “Mean Jean”Fremont is making his triumphant return, this time to do afternoon drive, starting Wednesday. At the same time, Chi will move from afternoons to 7-midnight.

Mean Jean famously enjoyed four years with Hot 104.5 under previous owner Scripps until his departure in June 2018. Before that he spent four years with former CBS Radio Top 40 WQMP (101.9 AMP Radio)/Orlando.

In making the announcement, OM Kevin “Gravy” Canup said, “I have heard Jean’s name constantly in the building and on the streets since I arrived in Knoxville. It was a no-brainer to get a talent that is loved by the staff and East Tennessee back in the building!” Knoxville Market President Chris Protzman stated, “Jean is one of those high energy, extremely bright and talented personalities that lift your organization and profile in the community. We are delighted to have him back on Knoxville’s Hot 104.5… Welcome home, Jean!”

Mean Jean commented, “I’m excited to be back and get to work in the Knoxville community. I look forward to working with an amazing team, now under the SummitMedia umbrella.”
