The ongoing cuts continue at Beasley Media Group as APD/morning host ‘Mean Jean’ Fremont has exited Classic Hip Hop “105.1 The Bounce” WMGC-FM Detroit.
Fremont had joined WMGC-FM in October 2022. He began his career at Rhythmic CHR “102 Jamz” WJHM turned CHR “101.9 Amp Radio” WQMP Orlando and also worked in that market at Cox CHR “Power 95.3” WPYO as well as spending two stints at SummitMedia Hip Hop “Hot 104.5” WKHT Knoxville TN first as night host from 2014 to 2018 before returning in November 2019 as MD/afternoon host and later rising to APD and then Program Director until moving to Detroit.
Fremont shared, “They say all good things come to an end and that includes my time at the BOUNCE and in Detroit. My position with Beasley Media was eliminated and Thursday was my last day with the company. Over the last two years; we laughed, we cried, we celebrated and did a lot of really dope things. Shoutout to Shannon Renee for being a star, welcoming me (when the first day we met was my first day on the job) and helping make my job easy everyday by being such a pro! Doing a Morning Show was never a goal of mine, but I’m glad I had the opportunity to do it in this city with Shannon as my partner in crime. I never would’ve thought I’d go from doing Afternoon’s in Knoxville to mornings in Detroit, but it happened and still blows my mind. Shoutout to the amazing city of Detroit for embracing me, tuning in to the show, and positive feedback. Thank you to all of my co-workers for embracing me and helping making me better in every aspect of my job. I got to do a lot of really things (I never thought were in the cards for me) and connected with a lot of dope people, who I’ll never forget. I’ll be around most of the month, but I’m excited to spend more time with my family in Florida while I figure out what’s next. With how 2024 has played out, it’s needed, for sure. All love, always.”
Co-host Shannon Renee remains in place in mornings.
