Jaffer Joins 88Nine/Milwaukee

• Non-comm Triple A WYMS (88Nine Radio Milwaukee) has named Ayisha Jaffer as its new afternoon drive talent and Promotions Coordinator. In her new position, Jaffer will drive Milwaukee home weekdays from 2-6pm, and book the station’s Thursday 414 Live on-air performance show featuring Milwaukee artists, host Radio Milwaukee events and represent the station at partner events and concerts.

“When I think of Milwaukee success stories, I think of Ayisha,” said PD Jordan Lee. “Born and bred here in Milwaukee, she’s traveled the world and worked with some of the coolest artists in contemporary music. She brings knowledge, industry experience and passion to the Radio Milwaukee team.”

Jaffer most recently owned and operated Greater Than Propaganda, which focused on artist and tour management, venue promotion and production, and developing brand and partnership campaigns for artist and projects. She previously worked for Saiko Management and Punkdafunk, and was a radio personality for two non-comm Alternative stations in New Zealand, 95bFM and Aotea FM, and she also did part-time at Radio Milwaukee.

“I’m excited to join the Radio Milwaukee team and represent the hometown that made me who I am today,” Jaffer said. “I think it’s important to be a part of something bigger than yourself, and Radio Milwaukee is an excellent example of a major contributor to a growing community. I hope to be proactive in our city and with our station to help improve an already great place, raising the ceiling on a platform for artists and leaders to be heard.”
