Following the layoff of ‘Mean Jean’ Fremont from mornings at Beasley Media Classic Hip Hop “105.1 The Bounce” WMGC-FM Detroit last week, his co-host Shannon Renee is following him out the door on her own accord.
Renee shared on Instagram that she “made the very difficult decision this week to step away from my on-air role at The Bounce.” She followed that it “would put me in the position to have to navigate what would technically be a 5th morning show for me on the station & that in & of itself is just a lot. Never in a million years did I have winning a contest nearly 4 years ago to be on-air on my bingo card, but I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have had that platform to spread awareness for breast cancer, my amazing interactions with our awesome listeners & for all of the fun memories along the way. I look forward to continuing my business and am also open to other opportunities as well. I’ve done lots of things over the years in different job sectors.”
Renee joined WMGC-FM in May 2021 as the winner of the “Bounce Big Break”. Prior to joining the station she served as Entertainment Manager at Motor City Casino, but had previous radio industry experience as Promotions Director for ABC Radio/Citadel’s 93.1 WDRQ and 96.3 WDVD from 2006 to 2010 and Clear Channel Detroit from 2011 to 2013.
Beasley Media has not yet announced plans for mornings.
