Phoenix Wakes Up With Maddie In The AM
• Desert Valley Media Group Hot AC KMVA (HOT 97.5 & 103.9)/Phoenix is thrilled to welcome market veteran Maddie Reis as the host of the all-new Maddie in the Morning.
Already used to waking up ungodly early, Reis previously served as Executive Producer of The Morning Messacross the street at Audacy’s KALV (Live 101.5), as well as EP for The Chet Buchanan Show on Audacy Top 40 KLUC/Las Vegas, where she honed her skills in show production and audience engagement. No stranger to big-city radio, Reis earlier worked on The TJ Show at former Audacy Top 40 WODS (103.3 AMP Radio)/Boston.
Program Director Mike Gallagher said, “This is one of those ‘where-preparation-meets-opportunity’ moments. Maddie is ready to make her mark, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to add her to the team.”
Reis remarked, “I’m beyond excited to join HOT 97.5 and 103.9 with my new show, Maddie in the Morning. Becoming a radio personality has been my dream since I was a kid, so hosting my own show is truly a dream come true. There’s no better way to start the day than here in the Valley, and I can’t wait to wake up with our listeners, sharing great music and plenty of laughs.”
Desert Valley CEO Mike Cutchall added, “Maddie blew us away in the interview, and putting someone in their ‘dream job’ is a winning formula for this company.”
Reis succeeds market mainstay Deongello “Gello” Vanorsby, who recently returned to afternoon drive across the hall on Rhythmic sibling KKFR (Power 98.3).
