Like many morning shows, it’s a mix of the silly and the serious, with discussions ranging from news topics, hip-hop culture, and community events, to comedy bits like the “Mad Minute,” in which listeners prank-call friends and relatives, stirring them up into bleeped-out freenzies.
Listen to 94.3 WYBC “DeDe in the Morning” live weekdays from 5AM until 10AM or stream online at www.943wybc.com.
You could win $1,000 with DeDe In The Morning!
DeDe is giving away free cash every morning with the $1000 Minute Game. Just answer all 10 of her trivia questions and you’ll win a grand! And if you don’t get them all right, she’ll break you off with $10 for every answer that you get right. So everyone wins free money!
