The Block/NYC Inks Shelley Wade & Ed Lover

As an entertainment journalist, Wade has also appeared on Today, The Talk, The Steve Harvey Show, Access Hollywood, Inside Edition and more. She’s also the host of the All The Rage With Shelley Wade podcast.
Wade said, “I’m so very excited for this new ride on The Block. Wow, coming back to NYC. These eight years I’ve been away have flown by. It feels like I took a sabbatical to SoCal to hike, take in the ocean, meditate and now my battery’s recharged and I’m ready to take on New York again. Thanks to Skip Dillard, Chris Oliviero and Audacy for believing in me, my brand and what I bring to the table. This is going to be fun.” Lover remarked, “I’m extremely happy and grateful to be back on the air in NYC, my home. No matter where I’ve traveled, New York is always with me. God bless this city! I’m back and energized!”
“These two additions signal the growth of our new station as we fill out its first-ever air staff,” said Chris Oliviero, SVP/Market Manager, Audacy New York. “Both Shelley and Ed possess rich experience in this format and have the talent, insight and entertainment value that will make them stars on 94.7 The Block.”
