Audacy Alternative “Alt 98.7” WDZH Detroit has named Amanda Habrowski as its new morning host.
“Amanda in the AM” will debut on Thursday, March 12 featuring the Detroit native. Previously known by the on-air name ‘Ice’ coined by by rapper Flavor Flav when she was a contestant on the VH1 dating show “Flavor of Love”, Habrowski most recently served as APD/afternoon host at iHeartMedia Classic Rock “93.1 The Mountain” KYMT Las Vegas until its flip to Variety Hits last month. Prior to her arrival at KYMT in June 2022, Habrowski spent eight years at Alpha Media CHR “Live 95.5” KBFF Portland rising from evening host to middays, while adding MD, APD, and eventually Content Director positions. She also hosted afternoons at “Hot 107.9” WJFX Fort Wayne IN from 2011 to 2014 and worked Detroit at 93.1 WDRQ and 95.5 WKQI.
Habrowski stated, “I left Detroit to chase a dream, and now I get to come home and live it. I’m beyond grateful for everyone who helped shape my path along the way. To still be here after 20 years of learning, evolving, and pushing through is something I’m really proud of. I’ve been building this whole time, and I’m excited to keep growing, give back, and have some fun with it.”
Audacy Detroit SVP/Market Manager Debbie Kenyon said, “This next chapter for Alt 98.7, Detroit’s Alternative Rock, is about amplifying the music that defines the city’s alternative scene. Bringing Amanda back to Detroit isn’t just a talent addition; it’s a statement. Her edge, authenticity and deep connection to the city make her the perfect voice for the station. As we continue to grow ALT 98.7, we’re doubling down on bold programming, fresh energy and a local presence that reflects the sound and spirit of Detroit. We are ready for our listeners to rock with Amanda in the mornings.”
Habrowski fills the opening created by Julia Lepidi’s departure in early January.
