Audacy Hot AC “99.1 The Mix” WMYX Milwaukee News Director and afternoon host Tim Lethlean is departing the station following his show today.
Lethlean previously worked at WMYX as a weekend/fill-in host from 2004 to 2007 before spending six years at News/Talk 620 WTMJ as a news anchor and fill-in host. He would return to WMYX in 2013 as News Director, while spending time in nights, middays, and since 2020 afternoons. He also has spent time at CHR “103.7 Kiss-FM” WXSS and Hot AC 94.5 WKTI Milwaukee, News/Talk 1310 WIBA and CHR “Z104” WZEE Madison, and CHR 95.5 WIFC Wausau WI.
Lethlean told RadioInsight, “I’m looking forward to a little time away from the mic; plus some extra family time. I may be guilty of missing out on a few too many kids’ volleyball tournaments and dance competitions. I have some catching up to do!”
On Facebook he wrote, “A quickie Tim update: I’m taking a break from Milwaukee radio. Friday will be my last day on-air at 99.1 WMYX. This is totally my decision. I’ve done two jobs, IT and radio, for 22 years now; and I have two kids in high school who will be out on their own soon. I don’t want to miss out on chances to make memories with my family. The Audacy crew is amazing and ridiculously supportive. I’ve made so many friends along my radio journey whom I can’t say enough positive about. I’ll still have my toes in broadcasting with my role on the Wisconsin State Emergency Communications Committee. I won’t say I’m done on-air either, but its time for a breather for a bit. Thank you for listening and supporting me along the way! I’m blessed to have enjoyed such a great run across the radio dial.”
