Lady B in the Afternoon debuts on Radio One's WPPZ-FM (Classix 107.9) Philadelphia in afternoons, weekdays from 2-7pm.

She'll continue to host her popular "Basement Party" mix with DJ Touchtone on Friday and Saturday nights. Her mix party is a staple part of her brand, which her listeners have come to expect and enjoy.

"Classix 107.9 FM plays R&B from the 70's & 80's -- the perfect mix of music for both Lady B and Philly," said Radio One/Philadelphia Program Director Jay Dixon. "Afternoons is where Lady B shines. Philly radio grew up on Lady B. We're so happy to have her back in this time slot - bridging music, the community and people, every weekday from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. With her team, DJ Touchtone and Roxi Fab, Lady B is like medicine for the soul."

"I'm thrilled to have the excitement of Lady B and DJ Touchtone and all that the show brings to Classix back in her daypart. After a tough day, this will be the PM Drive show to put you in a great mood in the afternoon and for your ride home," stated Radio One/Philadelphia Station General Manager Ezio Torres.

"I am more than thrilled to be going back to my original time slot on the radio," commented Lady B. "I love entertaining my folks while they are in their cars! So, please join me every day, Monday through Friday from 2-7pm with the Basement Party on Classix 107.9. We're back!"
