Good Karma Brands station 101.7 The Truth announces new midday show, Jammin with Juice, co-hosted by Ben Hooks and Carrie Mahone, beginning May 20. Nothin’ But The Truth, hosted by Melanie Ricks, will bid farewell to its daily broadcast and transition to a digital-only format this summer.
Kyle Wallace, director of content for 101.7 the Truth said, “We are excited for Mel and the new opportunities a digital show presents itself, particularly as fans explore new ways to consume our content. Carrie and Ben are part of the up-and-coming generation of young broadcasters, and since both teammates joined the Truth team at its inception, their passion and grasp on the Milwaukee community will translate through the airwaves.”
The station says Jammin with Juice promises to be a dynamic addition to the lineup, offering a fresh perspective on pop culture, trending topics, and lifestyle through the lens of two local millennials. Hosted by Ben “Jammin” and Carrie “Noni Juice”, the show, “promises to dissect trending topics, share candid opinions, and deliver plenty of laughter as they explore and entertain.”
Carrie Mahone, co-host of Jammin with Juice said, “Fans will embrace our show because we are The Truth for the youth. This show is the birth of a new era of media in the city, and we hope to bridge the gap between generations through entertaining yet honest dialogue.” Ben Hooks said, “Jammin with Juice will be a place where fans can hear young voices speak on matters that affect us all every day.”
