Jennifer Wilde is a longtime Denver radio personality whose career moved from major-market local morning radio to national syndication.
Denver radio
Wilde was already a Denver-market veteran when she joined KALC-FM (Alice 105.9) in 2005. She replaced Shea Baker on the station’s morning program, which became the BJ, Howie and Jennifer Morning Show. The show frequently ranked among the market’s leading programs with female listeners. Wilde left the Alice morning show after declining a contract renewal in late 2008.
Contemporary trade coverage also places Wilde at KQKS-FM (KS 107.5) before her Alice years.
National syndication
Wilde later filled in for nationally syndicated host Charlie Tuna. After Tuna’s death in 2016, she took over the program through The Talent Farm and developed it as The Wilde Ride. She retired from radio in June 2021 after more than three decades in the business, turning her full attention to photography and personal-brand strategy.
