Kirsten Savik aka K Marie

iHeartMedia Miami names Kirsten Savik, known on-air as K Marie, as the new midday personality for CHR WHYI-FM (Y100.7), Miami. She'll air weekdays from 10am-2pm. K Marie has been an air personality and influencer in the Miami market since joining co-owned Spanish-language flagship CHR WZTY (Tu 94.9) in 2016. With this move to Y100, K Marie makes a seamless crossover from Spanish-language to English-language radio.

"I've worked closely with K Marie for nine years, and her natural talent for connecting with audiences is remarkable," said Y1000 Program Director Larry Calderon Jr. (Yako). "She has a special ability to blend her 'Gringa' roots with her passion for Miami's Hispanic culture. Her energy, music style and commitment to celebrating the vibrancy of our community make her a perfect fit for Y100."

K Marie began her radio journey 18 years ago at 1530 AM La Picosa, a Spanish-language Regional Mexican station in Minnesota. Although she is not Hispanic, she fully immersed herself in the culture by learning Spanish and developing a deep appreciation for Latin music, food and traditions. She later transitioned to English-language radio at 96.3 NOW before moving to Miami 14 years ago. In Miami, she worked at DJ 106.7 and Power 96.5 before hosting middays at Tu 94.9.

"I'm incredibly honored to join the legendary Y100 family," said K Marie. "Since starting at Tu 94.9, Miami's diversity-from Cubans and Colombians to Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans and so many others-has made me feel right at home, even though I'm not Latina by background. This city has taught me to embrace its sazon, vibrancy and pride, and I'm humbled to bring that spirit to Y100. Thank you, Miami, for inspiring me every day."

In addition to hosting middays, K Marie will serve as a digital influencer for Y100, contributing to iHeartMedia's social and digital platforms.
