Get ready for a morning show takeover! DeDe McGuire's infectious energy is spreading across the airwaves, and it's an exciting time for radio enthusiasts.
To kick off 2026, DeDe In The Morning, a show hosted by the charismatic DeDe McGuire, has expanded its reach to five new affiliates, bringing its unique blend of laughter, love, and fun to even more listeners.
But here's where it gets controversial... or at least, a point for discussion. While some may argue that syndicated shows lack the local touch, DeDe McGuire's show has proven to be a hit, with cities across the country choosing to start their days with her.
Let's dive into the details:
Hagerstown, MD: DeDe's show has found a new home on Connoisseur Media's Rhythmic CHR station, Live 96.7 (WDLD). Operations Manager Mike Shriver raves about the show's perfect balance of energy and real talk, especially highlighting the contributions of 'The Boys,' including JJ and his popular 'I'll Be Damned' segments.
Montgomery, AL: Bluewater Broadcasting's Hip Hop station, Streamz 100.5 (WQKS-HD2), has joined the DeDe family. Program Director DJ Fresh emphasizes DeDe's unmatched connection with her audience and her ability to consistently engage listeners, a crucial skill for any morning drive show.
Binghamton, NY: Equinox Broadcasting's Hip Hop station, Hot 92.9, is now broadcasting DeDe's show. This addition brings a fresh, fun morning experience to listeners in the area.
Jacksonville, FL: Cox Media Group's Adult R&B station, Hot 106.5 (WHJX), has doubled down on DeDe's show, ensuring that Jacksonville residents can continue enjoying her morning antics.
Havre de Grace, MD: The soon-to-launch Adult R&B/Gospel station, WHGM Soul, will also feature DeDe In The Morning, offering a unique blend of music and talk to its listeners.
DeDe McGuire expressed her excitement, saying, "Knowing that more cities are choosing us to start their mornings is an incredible feeling. I'm thrilled to grow with our listeners nationwide and bring more laughs and love to their daily routines."
And this is the part most people miss: the impact of a great morning show. It sets the tone for the day, and with DeDe's show, listeners can expect a fun, engaging start to their mornings. But what do you think? Is a nationally syndicated show a good fit for local stations? Or does it take away from the unique flavor of each city? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
