Hope Media Group has announced the addition of Jillian ‘JJ’ Simmons as midday host at Christian AC 89.3 KSBJ Houston and afternoon host on the “Worship 24/7” network.

Simmons returns to radio after previously working at Hip Hop & R&B stations including WIZF Cincinnati from 1997-2001, WBLS New York in 2001-02, WHHH Indianapolis from 2002-12, and KBXX Houston from 2012-17. She has since led her “I’m Me Foundation” and “Respect My Crown” while focusing on public speaking and writing.

She commented, “Joining Hope Media Group feels both humbling and exciting. I have long respected the organization’s commitment to meeting people where they are with messages of hope and faith. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve listeners and contribute to this incredible ministry.”

Hope Media Group VP/Radio Jeff Evans said, “J.J.’s love for people and her passion for sharing Hope make her a natural fit for our ministry. We’re excited for listeners to experience her heart not only on KSBJ but also through Worship 24/7, where worship continues to draw people closer to God.”
