Veteran air personality Krissy T will take the morning host reins at Townsquare Media CHR WJBQ-FM in Portland, ME. She joins from crosstown Saga Hot AC WMGX-FM (The Coast 93.1) and takes over for 21-year morning mainstays Jeff Parsons and Lori Voornas, who migrate to co-owned AC WHOM-FM hosting mornings, starting May 15.

Krissy T said, "The opportunity to come back home and take over a 20+ year legacy morning show as my own, and on such a heritage station, is not only an honor but also so exciting. I can't wait to unapologetically overshare my life again with Maine."

Market President Sarah Dobbins added, "When you move one of the most successful morning shows in a generation, you better have an exciting replacement. One of Maine's top media personalities, Krissy is joining the Townsquare Media family and will host ‘Krissy in the Morning' on Q97.9. As one of Maine media's top social media influencers, Krissy will bring her energy and personality to Maine's legendary Q97.9. Our morning show lineup in Portland just got stronger."

Q97.9 Brand Manager Jadd Naamani said, "I couldn't be more excited to collaborate and crush it with this superstar giving Maine a new way to wake up every day."
