Audacy Names Molly Cruz Brand Manager of 99.1 The Mix and 103.7 Kiss FM in Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE, WI – April 11, 2025 – Audacy has announced the expansion of Molly Cruz’s role, naming her Brand Manager of 99.1 The Mix (WMYX-FM) and 103.7 Kiss FM (WXSS-FM) in Milwaukee. In this role, Cruz will oversee both stations’ content strategy, talent, operations and branding while continuing to serve as Brand Manager of B96 (WBBM-FM) in Chicago.
“We’re thrilled to have Molly back in Milwaukee. Her deep understanding of the market, proven leadership and passion for the CHR format make her an incredible asset to the team,” said Jason Bjorson, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Milwaukee and Madison. “We’re confident in her abilities to successfully lead these two iconic Milwaukee radio stations and morning shows to the next level for our listeners and advertising partners.”
“It’s a true honor to follow a legend like Brian Kelly. I spent over seven years learning from him, and that time had a huge impact on the programmer and leader that I’ve become,” said Cruz. “Now, I have the incredible opportunity to lead three powerhouse heritage brands in Chicago and Milwaukee. I’m excited, grateful, and ready to build on the strong foundation and take these iconic stations even further.”
Cruz’s expanded role marks a return to Milwaukee, where she served as Assistant Brand Manager for 99.1 The Mix and 103.7 Kiss FM from 2015 to 2023. She succeeds Kelly, who recently stepped down from his position.
