Cumulus Country “93.1 Nash-FM” WDRQ Detroit has appointed Jessica Poxson as Assistant Program Director.

Poxson has been hosting “The Jess Show” middays at WDRQ since September 2015 and will continue in the that role. She has been with Cumulus Detroit since 2010 starting in promotions and has also done news at 760 WJR, and traffic and local inserts during America’s Morning Show on WDRQ.

Cumulus Media announces that it has promoted NASH FM 93.1/WDRQ-FM Midday Host Jessica Poxson to Assistant Program Director, effective immediately. In her new role, Poxson will report to Detroit Director of FM Programming Robby Bridges and Cumulus Media-Detroit Operations Manager Mike Wheeler. She will continue as On-Air Host of “The Jess Show” weekdays from 10AM-2PM on NASH FM 93.1.

Poxson joined Cumulus Media-Detroit in 2010 and rose through the cluster’s ranks with positions ranging from promotions to news reporting for sister station WJR, on-air for WDVD, traffic on WDRQ and now host of its Midday slot. 

Bridges said: “In the longstanding Cumulus tradition of promoting from within, it is a pleasure to enhance Jessica’s role here in Detroit as we build DRQ’s brand and profile in the community and continue providing the best country music content to Detroit’s passionate country fans. I am thrilled she’ll be working closely with me and our team.”

Poxson said: “It’s a thrill to take on this new role in the city that I love with an amazing team of people who are just as committed to growing this radio station as I am.”
