Entercom adds Josh Holleman as morning co-host for WYCD-FM Detroit. He'll join co-hosts Rachael Hunter and Steve Grunwald as part of "Josh, Rachael and Grunwald in the Morning," weekdays from 5-10am ET, effective immediately. The move marks Holleman's second stint with Entercom Detroit, previously serving as an air personality for sister WDZH-FM (then 98.7 AMP Radio) from 2015 to 2016. He most recently hosted afternoons for WIL in St. Louis since 2016. Holleman started his broadcasting career in 2007 for WWBN in Flint, MI.

"As the home of Detroit's best country, we look forward to integrating Josh's fun and energetic style into our award-winning morning show alongside Rachael and Steve," said Entercom Detroit Senior VP and Market Manager Debbie Kenyon. "His impressive knowledge of the country music landscape and familiarity with our city as a native Detroiter will add a unique layer to our morning programming and help deliver a fresh, dynamic listening experience for our listeners to kick off their days."

"Doing mornings in Detroit is an absolute dream of mine," added Holleman. "Imagine my excitement when I got the call to work with an already established, award-winning team in the Motor City on the legendary WYCD. I want to thank Tim Roberts [Regional Vice President and Country Format Captain, Entercom; Brand Manager, 99.5 WYCD] and Debbie Kenyon for making it all possible. Country music is a part of the fabric of Detroit, and I couldn't be happier to be back."
