Lisa Holifield
Lisa "Roxanne" Christensen Holifield (born in Floyds Knobs, Indiana) is a radio personality, currently co-hosting the morning call-in program on WDJC-FM.
Holifield worked for 19 years for Citadel Broadcasting, including stints as a disc jockey, talk show host and news director. She provided news segments for all of Citadel's stations, joining Beaner and Ken on WRAX-FM, Rick and Bubba on WYSF-FM, and "The Opening Drive" on WJOX-AM. She was noted for providing a strong female counterpoint to those male-hosted programs. She hosted her own "Rox Report" on WAPI-AM in 2008, but was laid off in 2009.
Holifield went on to assist the director of Church of the Highlands' Dream Center at the former Woodlawn Fire Station. She helped Tajuan McCarty launch "The WellHouse" ministry for sexually-explouted women.
In January 2011, after several appearances to discuss her missions work, WDJC-FM talk show host Russell Wall invited her to become his co-host.
