In the News Stations

Good Karma Brands and 101.7 The Truth are announcing changes to their programming lineup and leadership team, set to take effect Jan. 20.

Among the changes is the introduction of Truth to Power with Kyle Wallace from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays. Hosted by Milwaukee native Kyle Wallace, a familiar voice on ESPN Wisconsin’s Kyle, Brust and Nortman, this new show will amplify diverse voices and perspectives, tackling a wide range of topics, from sports and culture to trending headlines and community issues. With Truth to Power, Wallace will offer his unique insights and engaging commentary, providing a fresh take on the conversations that matter most.

Additionally, 101.7 The Truth is launching The Truth Unfiltered, airing on Mondays at 6 p.m., hosted by Denise Thomas and Dr. Ken Harris. The program will tackle hard-hitting topics with unfiltered honesty.

Jammin’ with Juice—featuring the lively duo of Benjamin Hooks and Carrie Mahone—will now air during morning drive time from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., moving from its previous time slot of 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Known for their energetic and entertaining style, Ben Jammin and Carrie ‘Noni’ Juice will now help fans start their day with a vibrant mix of conversation, commentary, and entertainment.

As part of these changes, 101.7 The Truth is also welcoming back Sean Thompson as Director of Content. After successful stints with Westwood One, Audacy, and Bonneville, Thompson will bring a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the station. He will oversee content development and help steer the station into its next chapter of growth and innovation.

Kyle Wallace, in addition to his new on-air role, will also take on the position of Director of Community Relations, where he will focus on strengthening the station’s ties with the local community, driving outreach initiatives, and fostering meaningful connections with listeners.

“We’re excited to welcome Sean back to the Good Karma Brands team. His extensive experience and passion for great content will be invaluable as we continue to evolve 101.7 The Truth,” said Greg Scalzo, Vice President and Market Manager at Good Karma Brands Milwaukee. “With the new programming changes, we are confident our listeners will enjoy an even more engaging lineup, starting their mornings with Jammin’ with Juice and staying informed and connected throughout the day with Truth to Power and The Truth Unfiltered.”
