Remember When Lori and Jeff of Portland’s Q Morning Show Moved to 94.9 WHOM?
Same show, different station.
Wait, what? Yup. Back in May, one of the biggest and craziest radio moves happened. Lori and Jeff, who had been on Q97.9 for over 20 years, left the Q! But they didn't go far, just down the dial to 94.9 WHOM.
Yes, Jeff hates that Bitmoji. As we start 2024, it seems to be going well! All the things you loved from their show on the Q are now on 94.9 HOM. And Jeff seemed to survive our first ALL CHRISTMAS music too! Lori and Jeff love being on 94.9 WHOM. It wasn't a forced thing, they asked to move! And they are enjoying every minute!
Why did they leave the Q after 20-plus years? Well, good question. As they keep aging despite their efforts to stop that, they become less and less, uh, in touch with what a young audience talks about. Listen, they are still relevant and funny AF, but maybe not completely tuned into what those young whippersnappers* are doing.
*Using the term 'whippersnappers' is exactly why they moved to 94.9 WHOM.
Just so you know, this was a pretty big deal. Never before in Maine (and rarely throughout the country) has a hugely popular morning show switched stations with complete transparency. You see, sometimes people are 'let go', or they move to another state or a rival station, but this isn't any of those. This was a move initiated by Lori and Jeff and completely supported by their bosses. In fact, they really dig the idea.
Bring it on, 2024! We're ready for ya!
