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.
