The end of the year shakeup at Atlanta’s No. 1 urban station V-103 — Wanda Smith and Miss Sophia were let go — has been surpassed by the fact that the company snagged a new talent worth her salt in every way: Jade Novah.
Novah blew up on social media by not only singing popular song covers, but doing a killer Beyonce impression. Novah was based in Los Angeles, but the V-103 team, which hired her for some singing events, has solidified their relationship in a big way.
Jade Novah and JR join Frank Ski Morning Show in Atlanta
It was V-103 who took a chance on the indie singer by playing her song “All Blue,” which has turned into quite the banger.
Now V-103 who needed to fill some positions on Frank Ski’s morning show, has hired Novah and JR, who both began their new jobs on Jan. 22, 2019. JR comes from Entercom Sports 660 WFAN/101.9 WFAN-FM New York where he filled in on occasion. But it’s Novah who has social media abuzz these days.
“I look forward to joining the team at V-103 and kicking off 2019 by hitting the ground running,” said Novah. “Atlanta is where I started my career as a solo artist and content creator and I’m excited to come back to the city to represent the voice of a free thinking generation.”
