Cal State University Northridge and Saddleback College AAA “88.5 The SoCal Sound” KCSN Northridge/KSBR Mission Viejo CA is expanding the roles of morning co-hosts Nic Harcourt and Jet.
Jet will now solo-host the 6am hour as “Jet into Work”, while Harcourt will launch the 6pm hour “Nic at Six” starting Monday, March 17. The duo will continue to host “More Music in the Morning with Nic Harcourt & Jet” together from 7-10am weekdays.
Program Director and afternoon host Marc ‘Mookie’ Kaczor commented, “’Jet into Work’ is going to be a high-energy, up-tempo hour to get us started with our day. Jet has proven to be a beloved broadcaster and is very well liked by SoCal Sound listeners and members. We’re excited to give Jet her own show.” He then continued, “We thought it’d be interesting to bookend the primetime, starting with ‘Jet into Work’ early in the day and finishing with our star, Nic Harcourt. I think these changes are going to make The SoCal Sound even more appealing and exciting for our listeners.”
Jet said, “I’m looking forward to giving the audience an upbeat kick off to their mornings — like audio caffeine for your morning routine. As I embark on this new chapter, I’m excited to share this journey with our listeners & members.”
Harcourt commented, “I like the idea of curating a great hour of music for people’s commute home, while teasing some of the station’s plans for the next day.”
KCSN/KSBR General Manager Patrick Osburn noted, “Jet into Work” is designed to really jump start the station’s day,” as there are approximately 1 million people in Southern California who listen to the radio during the 6 to 7 a.m. hour. He followed, “As the pandemic increasingly grows in our rear-view mirror, the freeway traffic and commute times are growing. Obviously, that’s good for all audio platforms. We are talking to commuters, stay home parents — who work just as hard if not harder than most — as well as the work at-home crowd. Besides, how can you pass up ‘Jet into Work? It’s a fun way to play off Jet’s name and a great way to start off the day.”
