Naima Comes Home To Cities 97.1

• iHeartMedia Modern AC KTCZ (Cities 97.1)/Minneapolis welcomes a familiar voice back into the family, as Naima rejoins the station as the newly named co-host of Brian Oake in the Morning.

“It’s always great when I can bring back a prior employee who our audience loved,” said Rich Davis, PD of Cities 97.1. “Naima’s infectious energy both on and off the air and her unique accent make her instantly recognizable. She’s the perfect talent to help anchor our ‘Uniquely Twin Cities’ music mix along with the one and only Brian Oake.”

Naima returns to the Twin Cities after a stint in the Middle East, most recently doing mornings on Radio 1 in the United Arab Emirates. Before that she worked in Dubai as a Digital Content Editor for Gulf News’ radio stations and as a Production Manager at Swerve Entertainment. Naima began her radio career at Cities 97.1 in 2012 as a board op and part-time on-air talent and eventually graduated to hosting the night show. She has a BA Hons degree in television and theatre production from Buckinghamshire University in England.

“I’m ecstatic to be rejoining Cities 97.1 and returning home to where it all started for me,” Naima remarked. “Plus, I’m beyond chuffed to be partnering with Brian Oake to wake up the Twin Cities! Massive thank to Rich Davis and the Twin Cities management team for welcoming this weird Londoner back into the fold once again.”
