Brien was named as the "permanent replacement" for the retired Steve Leveille on weekends from midnight-5:00 a.m. on WBZ in Boston. The Jen Brien Show began on June 25, 2013 and lasted for three months.[2][3] On October 2, 2013, it was announced that the show would no longer air on WBZ. Fill-in host Morgan White, Jr. read a statement from WBZ program director Peter Casey saying that the station had re-evaluated its programming, and to better serve its overnight listeners, Brien would no longer air. Casey wrote that White, Jr. would be temporarily replacing Brien for the rest of the week and more information about the overnight show would be announced later.[4][5]

Brien currently co-hosts a weekday morning talk show from 5:00-9:00 a.m. on WHJJ in Providence with Ron St. Pierre.[6] She has also hosted shows on WCOD-FM and WXTK in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.[7]
