• Jordan Lee, Station Director of Radio Milwaukee Triple A WYMS (88Nine)/Milwaukee is leaving the station after 13 years to join Paragon Media Strategies as a Consultant, effective Jan. 31. In his new Paragon role Lee will focus on multiplatform content and branding for Paragon’s public radio clients.

Paragon CEO Mike Henry noted, “Anyone who knows Jordan knows that he is as good as they come, both as a person and a radio pro. Jordan’s track record in building Radio Milwaukee into a well-established and award-winning brand is well documented. He’s a leader locally and within the radio industry in promoting diversity and inclusivity. I could not be prouder to welcome Jordan and his family to the Paragon family.”

Lee, who recently assisted Paragon’s consulting efforts with the new Urban Alternative format, said, “I’m excited to continue my work in public media with the talented and knowledgeable team at Paragon. I believe so strongly in the power of music and its ability to bring out the best in humanity. I could not ask for a better opportunity to share my passion with many more who are working in public radio.”

We’re grateful for all he’s done at Radio Milwaukee and look forward to seeing his impact on stations across the country.”
