B96 Fills Middays & Nights
Nikki & Jerzy go full-time
By Darnella Dunham
The pairing of midday personality J-Niice and Julian on the Radio from nights for morning drive on CBS Radio rhythmic WBBM-FM (B96)/Chicago created openings in both shifts when the move occurred in January. Part-timers Rebecca Ortiz and Jerzy initially filled middays and nights, respectively, in the interim, and now permanent replacements have been named.
Chicago native Nikki is the new midday personality on B96. She was last heard in the market on Crawford urban WPWX (Power 92) and previously handled the same shift on Clear Channel CHR/top 40 WKSC (Kiss 103.5 Kiss FM)/Chicago.
Jerzy is upgraded from swing jock to full-time as the night show host. He spent the last few years at B96 producing the show for afternoon duo Styles & Roman and also helped out around the station as a board op. In addition to working at B96, Jerzy is an active DJ who mixes in the clubs, releases underground mixtapes and competes in battles.
Both Nikki and Jerzy can be heard weekdays in their new shifts.
