The new morning show will broadcast the latest Hip-Hop and lifestyle headlines catering to the local Boston scene, and will also bring back a listener favorite, JAM’N 94.5’s JAM SCAM.

In addition, Santi Deoleo is no stranger to JAM’N 94.5, and returns to the New JAM’N Morning Show with his former sidekick, Ashlee Feldman. This New England native will also be joined by JAM’N 94.5’s Hip Hop music authority DJ Pup Dawg, who listeners can also hear weekdays at noon with the “Back In The Day Buffet”, 5pm with the “5 o’clock Traffic Jam”, 6pm “The Mix at 6”, the “iHeartRadio 9 at 9” countdown and “The Takeover” at 10pm; as well as newcomer DJ4eign who has been steadily dominating the club and mixtape scene, as well as DJing for some of the industry greats such as French Montana, Young MA, Fabolous, Usher, Elephant Man, Mr.Vegas, Kevin Lyttle and others.
“We’re excited to have Ashlee back in the morning on JAM’N,” said Dylan Sprague, Program Director for JAM’N 94.5 and Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Boston. “It’s been exciting watching Ashlee’s career soar. Her attitude and energy were uncontainable in the afternoons and we can’t wait to hear her and Santi team up again on JAM’N 94.5.”
“JAM’N has always been my family,” said Ashlee. “I remember playing basketball at Northeastern and worrying about how I could get my hands on some cash because I just had to buy a ticket to Summer Jam. I’ve had many different roles at JAM’N 94.5 but I always knew where my home was and that is back in the mornings.”
