Jason Scott, previously an afternoon anchor, has been promoted to morning drive and will co-anchor with Roberta Jasina from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. on weekdays.
Tony Ortiz, who has served as a sports anchor for WWJ and sister station 97.1 The Ticket, has also been elevated as new co-anchor of the afternoon drive, teaming up with Jackie Paige from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Brooke Allen will continue in middays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“I couldn’t be more excited to elevate Tony and Jason into their new roles,” said Debbie Kenyon, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Detroit. “Both know the Detroit area well and that will allow them to bring our listeners valuable insight into the stories we cover each day.”
Ortiz said he is excited to be making the move from sports to news.
“I am looking forward to co-anchoring with Jackie, who is just an amazing person to work with,” Ortiz said. “It’s also an honor to be able to deliver the news on WWJ, a station that I grew up listening to and have been pleased to work at for the last 21 years.”
