JR of V-103 (WVEE) Atlanta lands the late night hosting gig at CBS Sports Radio. His show will air Monday through Friday beginning at 10:00 P.M. ET/ 7:00 PM PT across the nation.

The Bronx, New York native came to The ATL as part of the revamped morning show "The Morning Culture" in January 2019. Before that JR developed his own sports social media platform. It began 11 years ago. His presence on social media has been dominant.

JR has recently been working alongside Big Tigger in the afternoons on V-103, rather than doing mornings with Frank Ski. They are working on finding new co-hosts for Frank. In the meantime JR has also been talking sports on Atlanta's 92.9 The Game. On Instagram he said he will still contribute to 92.9 The Game and V-103.



JR turned a love for sports, music, and the internet into a full time career with his hit video sports blog "JRSportBrief," which has amassed more than 80 million views online. "Sports opinions by a fan, for the fans," JR has been around the world to cover multiple Olympic Games, Super Bowls and Final Fours. He's sat down everyone from Pelé, Usain Bolt, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, the late Kobe Bryant and countless others to deliver interviews and content from a fans' perspective.
