After exiting CBS Radio at the end of 2016 when CHR “96.5 Amp Radio” WZMP Philadelphia flipped to AC “Today’s 96.5“, Jason Cage is rejoining the company to host afternoons at Adult CHR “Mix 96.5” KHMX Houston.
Cage fills the afternoon opening created when Lauren Kelly moved to mornings in April. It also completes an airstaff revamp that features the new “Morning Mix” Sarah Pepper, Geoff Sheen and Lauren Kelly from 530-10am and Program Director Chase Murphy in middays from 10am-3pm.
Prior to working in Philadelphia, Cage hosted nights at CBS Radio CHR “B96” WBBM-FM Chicago and in his hometown of Huntsville AL.
Mix 96-5 (KHMX-FM) will launch a new afternoon show hosted by Jason Cage on Monday, June 12. The show will cover all the latest pop culture and local news, interviews with the biggest artists in music today and help Houston transition from at work to the drive home. The show can be heard on-air, online at www.mix965houston.com or via the Radio.com mobile app.
“I have been a fan of Jason’s work for years! Winning is in his DNA! We are excited to add him to the KHMX team and cannot wait for the Houston community to meet him,” said Chase Murphy, Program Director, Mix 96-5.
“I’ve had obscene amounts of fun working with top notch CBS Radio teams in Chicago and Philly over the past 6 years and I’m thrilled to continue the run on KHMX Houston! Chase Murphy is an evil genius mastermind and I’m honored to be part of his plot. Thank you Erik Bradley, Brad Wright, Jeff Sottolano and Sarah Frazier for putting the pieces together,” added Jason Cage, afternoon drive host, Mix 96-5.
The full Mix 96-5 line up kicks off with The Morning Mix featuring Sarah Pepper, Geoff Sheen and Lauren Kelly, 5:30 am – 10 am, followed by Chase Murphy, 10 am – 3 pm, and Jason Cage, 3 pm – 7 pm.
