Longtime Portland, ME, morning hosts Lori Voornas and Jeff Parsons will take over as hosts of the AC WHOM morning show, effective May 15. The duo previously spent 21 years on co-owned Townsquare Media CHR WJBQ. WHOM has a powerhouse signal spanning five states and two countries from the top of Mount Washington. A new morning show for WJBQ will be announced soon.

Market President Sarah Dobbins said, "It's the same fun show listeners love and with a larger megaphone. We couldn't be more excited about the future of the station and the Morning Show with Lori and Jeff."

Director of Content Herb Ivy added, "Lori and Jeff are two of the best Digital and Radio content creators in Townsquare and are the perfect duo to take WHOM to the next level."

Voornas said, "I've always joked my ultimate goal in radio was to take over the world. This gets me one step closer. I can't wait to share my excitement with a brand-new audience."

Parsons added, "I'll always have fond memories of the 26 years I spent on Q97.9, but the time is right to take the next step to WHOM. The best part is, I'm still working with all the same people I have been, including Lori."
