KMVA-FM (Hot 97.5 & 103.9) in Phoenix taps Maddie Reis as the new host of "Maddie in the Morning," effective September 30. Her prior radio roles include Executive Producer of "The Morning Mess" at Audacy in Phoenix, and the Chet Buchanan Show in Las Vegas, where she worked in show production and audience engagement.

Program Director Mike Gallagher said, "This is one of those, where preparation meets opportunity moments. Maddie is ready to make her mark, couldn't be more thrilled to add her to the team."

"I'm beyond excited to join Hot 97.5 and 103.9 with my new show, Maddie in the Morning," shared Reis. "Becoming a radio personality has been my dream since I was a kid, so hosting my own show is truly a dream come true. There's no better way to start the day than here in the valley, and I can't wait to wake up with our listeners, sharing great music and plenty of laughs."

CEO Michael Cutchall added, "Maddie blew us away in the interview, and putting someone in their 'dream job' is a winning formula for this company." Maddie's vibrant personality and dedication to entertaining her audience make her the perfect fit for the station. Listeners can expect a lively mix of music, engaging conversations, and a sense of community that resonates with the spirit of Phoenix.
