Audacy has announced the appointment of Brett Andrews to serve in multiple roles in their Madison and Milwaukee stations.
Andrews will serve as Brand Manager of Hot AC “Mix 105.1” WMHX Waunakee/Madison, Assistant Brand Manager for Hot AC “99.1 The Mix” WMYX Milwaukee and CHR “103.7 Kiss-FM” WXSS Wauwatosa/Milwaukee, and afternoon host on WMYX.
Andrews most recently served as SVP/Programming for iHeartMedia Madison and Milwaukee until exiting in January. He joined iHeart Milwaukee in 2015 as Program Director for Classic Hits “95.7 Big-FM” WRIT-FM and formerly programmed CHR “97.3 Now” WRNW-FM. He added oversight of CHR “Z104” WZEE Madison in 2020 and hosted mornings on WRIT-FM and tracked shifts for iHeartMedia stations across the country.
Andrews previously hosted nights at WXSS in 2007 along with stints at KFRX Lincoln NE, KZCH Wichita, and afternoons at “Hot 97.5” KVEG Las Vegas. He joined iHeartMedia in 2010 as Assistant Program Director of CHR “Z100” KKRZ and Rhythmic CHR “Wild 107.5” KXJM Portland before rising to Program Director. He moved to St. Louis to program CHR “Z107.7” KSLZ and Rhythmic CHR “Wild 104.9” KBWX from 2013 to 2015 prior to his move to Milwaukee.
Audacy Wisconsin SVP/Market Manager Jason Bjorson said, “Brett’s deep connection to these stations and proven talent in the industry make him an incredible asset as we continue to strive to build lasting relationships with our listeners and partners. We’re so excited to have Brett’s passion for radio and knowledge of the Milwaukee and Madison markets back on our team and have him lead three of our local favorites.”
Andrews commented, “There’s something special about these stations that keeps pulling me back. I walked into this building over 25 years ago to start my career, and it’s an honor to return and help carry on their incredible legacy. Huge thanks to Jason Bjorson and Molly Cruz for believing in me. It feels so good to be home again!”
At WMYX, Andrews takes the afternoon slot that had most likely been held by former KHMX Houston APD/afternoon host Jay Michaels. Additionally, new “B96” WBBM-FM Chicago midday host Letty B will replace current Assistant Brand Manager Taylor Vaughn.
