Cumulus Kansas City Operations Manager Jim Fox said, "Jaye's excitement about radio and willingness to work tirelessly to pursue his dream is reminiscent of the passion that drove so many of us to this industry. If ever there was someone who truly earned a gig, it's Jaye."

KCJK-FM and KCHZ-FM Program Director Jagger commented, "Jaye lives the Rock lifestyle and completely understands the brand and strategy behind 105.1 The X. He's worked hard to develop into a strong on-air personality. I'm happy he's officially joining us as a full-time member of our team."

Many thanks to Donna Baker, Jim Fox, and Jagger for the trust and consideration, also to Kelly Urich and Mackenzie Justice for letting me learn while being a part of record ratings on 94.9 KCMO."
