The Backstory

What Happened to Brooke and Jubal?

Before diving into these legendary segments, here's the context you need to know.

2011 — 2020

These iconic segments were created during Brooke & Jubal's nearly decade-long partnership from 2011 to 2020, when they were one of America's most popular morning radio shows broadcasting from Seattle's MOViN 92.5.

In April 2020, the partnership ended when Jubal Fresh was terminated by Hubbard Broadcasting. While the official reason cited misconduct, Jubal claimed the real reason was financial due to COVID-19. The show continued as "Brooke & Jeffrey in the Morning" with Brooke Fox and producer Jeffrey Dubow.

Despite the split, these segments remain timeless examples of creative radio entertainment. Both hosts continue their careers separately, but the segments below represent the magic they created together during their peak years.
