Adams Radio CHR “Hot 107.9” WJFX New Haven/Fort Wayne IN has hired Patrick Grey to host nights starting Wednesday, May 11.
Grey joins WJFX from Mainestream Media Rhythmic CHR “Hot 104.7” WHTP Portland ME where he spent three years in nights and then mornings. He began his career at WJFX in 2011 as an intern before moving up to part-time prior to his move to WHTP.
The addition of Grey will enable Travis Walker to shift to middays at sister AC “Soft Rock 103.9” WWFW Fort Wayne. Walker replaces WJFX/WWFW Program Director Robbie Mack in that midday slot allowing Mack to focus on those duties and afternoons on WJFX.
On-air personality Patrick Grey has been tapped for nights on CHR/Pop (Top 40) station WJFX (HOT 107.9).
Patrick began his broadcast career at HOT 107.9 in 2011 as a Promotions intern, eventually working his way up to a part-time on-air position. He has spent the past 3 years with Mainestream Media CHR/Rhythmic WHTP (HOT 104.7) in the Portland, ME market, where he did nights, and later, morning drive. ??
HOT 107.9 Brand Manager Robbie Mack says, “Patrick’s on-air skills speak for themselves. The best show in Fort Wayne at night will be on HOT 107.9. When you add in the graphics, social media and digital expertise, he’s a natural fit with our team. I’m excited he’s back with HOT 107.9.”??
“After a short hiatus from radio, I’m very excited to be back behind the mic, in my hometown no less, and at what I consider to be my “home station.”’, added Grey. “HOT 107.9 is where I began my career in radio, and I’m ready to start my next chapter back with the roots!”??

The growth of listenership to Soft Rock 103.9 has been tremendous in the last few months. Having a dynamic and skilled personality like Travis take over this important daypart will only keep the forward momentum of this exciting new radio station!”
