Good Karma Makes Major Milwaukee Move
• Good Karma Brands is excited to announce a move to The Avenue in downtown Milwaukee. The company’s Home Office operations, as well as its four Milwaukee radio stations — Newsradio 620 WTMJ, WKTI (94.5 ESPN), WAUK-AM (540 ESPN), and WGKB (101.7 The Truth), will relocate later this year. Good Karma’s Home Office and radio station operations will be located on the second floor of The Avenue, while the studios will be located on the first floor in the 3rd Street Market Hall as a featured activation within the space.
“It’s incredibly important to us as a local operator of world-class brands to be a part of the fabric of the local community and the cities in which we live and work,” said Craig Karmazin (left), Founder & CEO of Good Karma Brands. “We couldn’t be happier with The Avenue and 3rd Street Market Hall as it’s a symbol of the growth, investment and diversity present in downtown Milwaukee development, and aligns directly with our values as a locally-owned company passionate about serving our local community.”
The move to The Avenue is particularly noteworthy for the legendary Newsradio 620 WTMJ, as it concludes an 80-year history at its Radio City location on Capitol Drive in Milwaukee. VP/Market Manager Steve Wexler (right) noted, “Saying both thank you and farewell to Radio City, home of WTMJ since 1941, brings with it a deep feeling of gratitude for the support of the legendary WTMJ brand and the rich history of that building, while also looking forward to the path ahead at The Avenue.” Wexler added, “Our radio stations, WTMJ, ESPN Milwaukee and The Truth, underscore and reflect the importance of news, sports and local community engagement, while also relying on the history and heritage of the city of Milwaukee and the people of Milwaukee. To join the 3rd Street Market Hall and The Avenue in their quest to both honor that heritage and spirit of Milwaukee while ushering in new ideas and innovation is the perfect complement to our mission as well.” Construction is expected to be completed later this year.
