RAMP Leap Of The Week™

• This week’s big winner is Krissy T, who makes the whiplash-inducing leap upward from Portland, ME (Market No. 99) to Detroit (Market No. 13), hired to fill the prime 7-midnight vacancy at iHeartMedia Top 40 WKQI (Channel 95.5), effective immediately.

Krissy was recently morning co-host on Mainestream Media Top 40 WHTP (Hot 104.7)/Portland. She also did part-time, swing and co-hosted the night show at Entercom Top 40 WODS (103.3 AMP Radio)/Boston. Krissy is a graduate of Merrimack College in Boston and began her radio career at iHeartMedia’s WJMN (JAM’N 94.5) and WXKS (Kiss 108)/Boston.

“We love Krissy’s sound and energy and know that she will bring those key ingredients to the night show,” said Tony Travatto, Regional SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Detroit. “We have been searching for somebody that will reinvent the way night time radio is done in Detroit, and Krissy is that person.”

Krissy exclaimed, “I’m ready to crush it in Detroit! The station is iconic and the city is awesome and I can’t wait to connect with the Detroit community and bring magic to their weekday nights on Channel 95.5.”
