  • Jim McGuinn, born James Slusarek, is an American radio personality. He served as program director of the now defunct Y100 100.3FM (1997–2005) and its predecessor, WDRE in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1995–97), both of which changed formats after being bought by Radio One. McGuinn also served as Program Director for KPNT (1994–95), St. Louis, and WEQX (1990–94), Manchester, Vermont, beginning his career in commercial radio as a DJ at WWRX (1988–90), Providence, following time at his college radio station, WPGU (1984–88), Champaign, Illinois. McGuinn took the Y100 brand online in 2004 with Y100Rocks.com, meant to serve as the internet reincarnation of Y100 after the public outcry that took place online after the station's modern rock format was abandoned. In August 2006, McGuinn merged Y100Rocks into WXPN's family of programming. In April 2007 McGuinn became the afternoon drive time host for WXPN, following the World Cafe program by David Dye. He also served as the Program Director for Y-Rock On XPN, which exists both as programming on WXPN as well as a full-time internet radio operation. McGuinn was program director from January 2009 until his departure in April 2022 of Minnesota Public Radio's 89.3 The Current. In August 2022, it was announced that McGuinn would return to WXPN as Assistant Program Director. (en)
