Watt Traded From Detroit To Houston
• Entercom Hot AC KHMX (Mix 96.5)/Houston welcomes Jessie Watt to the cast of The Morning Mix, plugging in across from hosts Sarah Pepper and Geoff Sheen, effective Jan. 13.
Watt earns the transfer from Entercom Detroit, where she was most recently the on-air producer of Chuck, Rachael and Grunwald in the Morningon Country sibling WYCD. “We are excited to have Jessie join our team here at Mix 96.5,” said Sarah Frazier, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Houston. “I’ve admired her work at our sister station 99.5 WYCD from afar and know she will be a true asset to our station. Her infectious personality and high energy will help our listeners start their morning on a high note.”
Watt said, “I’m beyond thrilled to be joining Entercom Houston’s incredibly accomplished Mix 96.5 team. I feel lucky to be able to spend my mornings working and laughing with the fiercely talented Sarah Pepper and Geoff Sheen and am extremely excited for the opportunity to work under Sarah Frazier and [PD] Chase Murphy. I want to send a big thank you to [WYCD PD] Tim Roberts for his continued mentorship and support. The Morning Mix features unmatched talent and wit and I am honored to become a member of the family.”
Watt replaces Lauren Kelly, who is now focused on her television career KPRC-TV.
