Beasley Media Group has unveiled its new morning lineup for classic hits WROR Boston (105.7), pairing longtime station personality Lauren Beckham Falcone, known to listeners as LBF, with Boston radio veteran “Adam 12” (Adam Chapman).
“The ROR Morning Show with LBF and Adam 12” debuts Monday, June 1, bringing a new era to WROR mornings following the retirement of longtime host Bob Bronson.
The company says the new weekday program will focus on humor, lifestyle conversation, listener interaction and music, with an emphasis on creating a relatable and upbeat start to the day for Boston audiences.
LBF has been a familiar voice on WROR’s morning show since 2011 and has built strong recognition in the market through her on-air work and Boston roots. Before joining radio full time, she worked as a reporter for the Boston Herald.
Chapman arrives at WROR with three decades of radio and digital media experience, much of it spent in Boston. A Wakefield native and Northeastern University graduate, he began his career at alternative stations WFNX and WBCN before later serving as Executive Producer of “Toucher & Hardy” on Beasley-owned “98.5 The Sports Hub” WBZ-FM and Program Director at WBOS-FM.
“We’re excited to launch the new ROR Morning Show with LBF and Adam 12,” Beasley Media Group Boston Vice President and Market Manager Mary Menna said in the announcement. “LBF and Adam have a natural chemistry, incredible energy, and a genuine connection with listeners making mornings on WROR both entertaining and relatable.”
WROR Program Director Scott Morello said Chapman brings “creativity, experience, and passion for great radio” to the station and called the pairing “energetic, funny, and incredibly engaging.”
Among the features planned for the show is “Supah Smaht in 60 Seconds,” a weekday trivia contest airing at 8:05am. that gives listeners a chance to win $1,000. Another recurring segment, “DM Disasters,” will spotlight awkward and outrageous listener stories during morning drive.
For Falcone, the new role marks the continuation of a long run on WROR mornings.
“Boston mornings on WROR have been my home for so many years,” she said. “Getting the chance to wake up this city alongside someone as talented, funny, and creative as Adam is truly special.”
Chapman said joining WROR mornings represents a career milestone after years working behind the scenes and in programming roles within Beasley Media Group. “Working with LBF for a new morning show on WROR is a dream come true,” he said. “I know we’re going to have an absolute blast.”
“The ROR Morning Show with LBF and Adam 12” will air weekdays on WROR beginning June 1 and stream through WROR.com and the station’s mobile app.
