Cumulus Media has announced the addition of Erika Jeanine as co-host of their regionally syndicated “Zazza Mornings” based at CHR “107.1 WA1A” WAOA Melbourne FL and heard on “Z96” WZNS Destin/Fort Walton Beach FL and 97.5 WABD Mobile AL.
Jeanine will also serve as Promotions Director for Cumulus Melbourne. She previously served as Programming Coordinator at iHeartMedia AC “Magic 107.7” WMGF Orlando and was a weekend host at CHR “XL 106.7” WXXL until exiting in the company’s January 2020 cuts.
She fills the long-vacant co-host slot next to Tony Zazza that has been open since Cheree Carter departed in August 2019.
CUMULUS MEDIA announces that on-air personality Erika Jeanine will join the regionally syndicated morning radio show Zazza Mornings as Co-Host. Zazza Mornings broadcasts live from 107.1 WA1A in Melbourne, FL, is also heard on 97.5 WABD-FM in Mobile, AL, and Z96/WZNS-FM in Ft. Walton Beach/Destin, FL.
Jeanine was previously on-air in Orlando, FL, at WXXL-FM and was on the programming team for WMGF-FM in Orlando. In addition to co-hosting Zazza Mornings, she will also lead the Cumulus Melbourne cluster as Promotions Director. Her first day on-air with Tony Zazza, Host of Zazza Mornings, will be Tuesday, May 4th.
Zazza, who joined Cumulus Melbourne in 2015 on Top 40 WAOA before the company syndicated the show regionally in 2016, said: “Erika brings a passion for radio and knowledge of pop culture and social media to Zazza Mornings, and I’m excited to have her on the team. She also brings fun and energy that the audience will love and relate to, and she will be an asset in growing the show. Plus, it’s been a long 394 days of talking to myself. But who’s counting?”
Jeanine commented: “What excites me the most about this opportunity is that I not only get to work on being a great co-host to Tony, but I also get to show my abilities as a Promotions Director. Being able to do both really keeps me on my toes! I feel like this is my big break. Also, who doesn’t love the beach?! Being in Melbourne, I get to explore a city I’m not too familiar with, as well as get my tan on.”
