Jim Day is named mornings host for Classic Hits WGRR-FM in Cincinnati. He debuts this week and can be heard weekdays from 5-9am. Day moves from his previous on-air post at sister WRRM-FM (Warm 98.5), where he was heard in PM drive. Prior to that, he hosted mornings on Warm 98.5. Day moves to mornings on WGRR-FM following the retirement of former morning co-hosts Chris O'Brien and Janeen Coyle on December 22 after 28 years on-air. Prior to joining Cumulus Cincinnati in 2016, Day hosted mornings on WHKO-FM in Dayton, KWEN-FM in Tulsa and on WSM-FM in Nashville.

Cumulus Cincinnati VP/Market Manager Jon Laing said, "We're thrilled to have Jim continue the tradition of great local radio in mornings on WGRR-FM. Listening to Jim on the radio is just fun. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and that's what radio is all about."

WGRR-FM Program Director Keith Mitchell added, "Jim will be a great addition to the WGRR team, and he only has to move his headphones about 30 feet. While never easy to replace a long-running show, Jim will bring energy, enthusiasm, and fun to mornings."

Day said, "I've worked 'just down the hall' from Chris and Janeen for the last seven years and never imagined I would be considered to take over mornings at WGRR. I was surprised to be asked and I'm honored to take on the challenge. But more than all of that, I wish the happily married couple an amazing retirement."
