iHeartMedia is expanding The Jim Polito Show to a third market as he takes over mornings on 920 WHJJ Providence/104.7 W284BA Warwick RI.
Polito is based at 580 WTAG/94.9 W235AV Worcester MA and also airs on 560 WHYN/98.9 W255DL Springfield. He replaces Ron St. Pierre in mornings at WHJJ as St. Pierre is one of the most recent people to depart iHeartMedia in the company’s ongoing layoffs.
Polito hosted mornings at WTAG from 2008-2012 and then returned in September 2014 following a stint as a commentator for WFXT-TV Boston. His show expanded to WHYN in May 2016. St. Pierre had hosted mornings at WHJJ since 2013 after a long run at Cumulus Media’s 630 WPRO. He previously served as Program Director and morning host at WHJJ from 1982 to 1988.
