Taylor Jukes Named PD of Y100/Miami
• Taylor Jukes is trading in the semi-frozen tundra of Toronto for the swaying palm trees and pounding surf of sunny Miami, as the newly named Program Director of iHeartMedia Top 40 WHYI (Y100), effective immediately.
Ms. Jukes (pictured) was most recently Sr. Manager of National Content for iHeartRadio Canada, overseeing content for the brand digitally and on-air across 109 Bell Media stations. She was also Program Director of one of the most successful Top 40 stations in Canada, CKFM (99.9 Virgin Radio)/Toronto. Jukes previously held programming and on-air roles at Alternative CHHR (Shore 104)/Vancouver, BC, Virgin Radio Vancouver and Top 40 CHBN Edmonton, AB, to name a few.
In her new position, Jukes reports to Rob Miller, Region SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia South Florida, who commented, “Taylor is a passionate leader who has programmed multiple successful brands in Canada. Her fresh perspective on collaborating with talent and innovative social media strategies, paired with strong relationships with artists and our label partners will reinforce the dominant position we have at Y100. I’m excited for Taylor and me to make history together in Miami!”
Jukes said, “I’m excited to join an innovative company like iHeartMedia that leads the way in Radio Programming and Events. Top 40 has always been my passion and to join the Miami team at the iconic Y100 is thrilling! Big thanks to the entire iHeart team for the amazing opportunity.”
