Houston’s Jay Michaels: Free Agent
• RAMP has confirmed that Jay Michaels has exited as Asst. Brand Manager for Audacy Hot AC KHMX (Mix 96.5) and Adult Hits KKHH (95.7 The Spot)/Houston after a two-year run. Michaels, who also did middays on Mix, was also tracking afternoons for Hot AC sister WMYX (99.1 The Mix)/Milwaukee and Audacy’s Channel Q.
Michaels arrived in Houston in May 2023, coming off an 11-year run with Cumulus, the last four as OM of the company’s Shreveport, AL group and PD of Hot AC KQHN (Q97.3), Country KRMD and AC KRMD-AM (Lite Rock 100.7). Michaels earlier spent six years with Cumulus Indianapolis as PD of Classic Hits WJJK and former Top 40 WYRG (Energy 93.9) — now WNDX (93.9X). Previous stops include WMGI/Terre Haute, IN, KQMV/Seattle, WSTO (Hot 96) & WIKY/Evansville, IN and Metro Networks in Louisville, to name a few.
Michaels said, “While I’m disappointed my time with Audacy Houston has come to an end, I’m so proud of what I was able to do while here. But, I’m excited about what’s in the future too!” Going forward, Michaels can be contacted at JayMichaels47111@gmail.com or 812-282-0764.
