Crawford Broadcasting announced today that beginning Monday, January 3, 2022, WPWX-FM “Power 92” will broadcast “DeDe in the Morning” from 5AM -9AM weekdays.

“We are ready for DeDe in the Morning to take over the Windy City and welcome her as the first lady of Chicago radio.” said Ruben Cornejo, General Sales Manager.

Jay Alan, Program Director for Power 92 states: “We’re so excited to have DeDe wake-up Chicago on Power 92, her whole vibe and feel is what the city and morning radio has been missing… Plus, she’s a woman and we all know that women run the world.”

DeDe McGuire adds “Get Ready Chicago. We are going to take over the Streets with fun and laughter every morning…Welcome Power 92 to DeDe Nation.”

Compass Media Networks officially launched DeDe in the Mornings in partnership with Service Broadcasting K104 in Dallas, TX in July 2018. The show is now heard in 60 markets including Dallas, Chicago, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, New Haven, Austin, and Oklahoma City.

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
