Lover joined Audacy in April, 2018 for mornings at WBMX (104.3 Jams) Chicago and added duties at WXBK in March, 2022. Later that year, Audacy moved his program to nights in Chicago and expanded it to Seattle, San Francisco and Las Vegas.

Prior to Audacy, Lover was a longtime hip-hop radio and television figure, co-hosting mornings at WQHT (Hot 97) New York from 1993 to 1999, helping launch WWPR-FM (Power 105.1) in 2002 with Doctor Dre, and co-hosting "Yo! MTV Raps." His career also includes stops at KKBT Los Angeles, SiriusXM, and a syndicated Atlanta-based show for Radio One from 2015 through 2017.

Jones began hosting mornings at WXBK in August 2022. A former R&B singer, she started her radio career at WQHT as part of the "Star & Buc Wild" morning show before moving to Radio One's WPHI (103.9 The Beat) Philadelphia. She later returned to WQHT, was syndicated back to Philadelphia, and went on to host mornings at iHeartMedia's WUSL (Power 99) Philadelphia from 2009 to 2011.

Audacy has not announced replacements or programming changes for WXBK at press time.
