WYMS-FM (88Nine)/Milwaukee names former artist manager and air talent Ayisha Jaffer as afternoon host and Promotions Coordinator. She'll host the Alternative outlet's weekday afternoon shift from 2-6pm. As Promotions Coordinator, Jaffer will book the station's weekly 414 Live on-air performance show featuring Milwaukee artists (5:30pm Thursdays), as well as handling on-air work and hosting Radio Milwaukee events, representing the station at partner events and concerts.

"When I think of Milwaukee success stories, I think of Ayisha," said Program Director Jordan Lee. "Born and bred here in Milwaukee, she's traveled the world and worked with some of the coolest artists in contemporary music. She brings knowledge, industry experience and passion to the Radio Milwaukee team."

Jaffer most recently owned and ran Greater Than Propaganda, which focused on artist management, tour management, venue promotion and production and developing brand and partnership campaigns for artist and projects. She previously worked for Saiko Management and Punkdafunk, and as an air talent at two non-commercial Alternative stations in New Zealand, 95bFM and Aotea FM, and parttime at Radio Milwaukee.

"I am excited to join the Radio Milwaukee team and represent the hometown that made me who I am today," said Jaffer. "I think it's important to be a part of something bigger than yourself, and Radio Milwaukee is an excellent example of a major contributor to a growing community. I hope to be proactive in our city and with our station to help improve an already great place, raising the ceiling on a platform for artists and leaders to be heard."
