Fremont shared, “They say all good things come to an end and that includes my time at BOUNCE and in Detroit. My position at Beasley Media was eliminated and Thursday was my last day with the company. In the last two years; we laughed, we cried, we celebrated and we did a lot of really crazy things. Kudos to Shannon Renee for being a star for welcoming me (when the first day we met was my first day at work) and helping me make my job easier every day by being such a professional! Doing a morning show was never my goal, but I’m glad I had the opportunity to do it in this city with Shannon as my partner in crime. I never thought I would go from afternoons in Knoxville to mornings in Detroit, but it happened and it still blows my mind. Kudos to the amazing city of Detroit for embracing me, being on the show and the positive feedback. Thanks to all my colleagues for embracing me and helping me become better in every aspect of my job. I got to do a lot of really stuff (I never thought it was in the plans for me) and got involved with a lot of drugs that I will never forget. I’ll be around for most of the month, but I’m excited to spend more time with my family in Florida while I figure out what’s next. With how 2024 has turned out, this is certainly needed. All love, always.”
Co-host Shannon Rene stays put in the morning.
