WMYD Adds Host And On-Air Personality

Scripps-owned independent WMYD Detroit (DMA 13) has named Jessica Lundy as the station host and on-air personality.

In December, WMYD held an open casting call for the position at the Detroit Marriot inside the Renaissance Center where nearly 1,200 potential candidates from the Detroit metro area auditioned for the role.

“There were so many talented candidates at the auditions and we’re thankful that the people of Detroit responded in such a positive way,” said Mike Murri, WXYZ-WMYD VP-GM.

Murri added, “Jessica’s personality and confidence jumped off the screen during the auditions. She brings the positive attitude we’re looking for to represent TV20 on all of our platforms. We’re so excited that Jessica is part of the team.”

Lundy attended Eastern Michigan University and has several years of hosting experience in the Detroit area.

She will start her hosting role the week of Jan. 11.
