Kevin Sucher is named Executive Director of non-commercial WYMS-FM (88Nine Radio)/Milwaukee. A Milwaukee native, Sucher worked as a professional musician for several years and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards. With more than over 20 years of leadership and business experience in the entertainment industry, he's run his own Milwaukee-based management, production and consulting agency, Sucher Entertainment, since 2008. In 2012, Sucher was hired as the president/CEO of Truth Records, a Houston Texas-based artist management company.

"While rooted in Milwaukee, Kevin brings connections and innovative ideas drawn from his national music industry experience," said Radio Milwaukee Board President Juli Kaufmann. "He is an inclusive leader who brings fresh perspective to enhance our already exceptional team. We are thrilled to advance our mission under Kevin's leadership."

"We're finding that 88Nine's unique programming, including changes we've made to respond to the situation, is providing comfort to Milwaukee residents sheltering at home," added Sucher. "The organization's commitment -- especially at this critical time - to creating a more inclusive and engaged Milwaukee by connecting us through music is something I'm incredibly passionate about."

As executive director, Sucher is responsible for management of the station and leading the organization. To ensure a smooth change in leadership, he started in his new position this week in an overlapped transition period with outgoing Executive Director Glenn Kleiman.
