88Nine Radio Milwaukee Names New Station Director and PD


Non-commercial radio veterans Jordan Lee and Dori Zori have been named Station Director and Program Director of 88Nine Radio Milwaukee (WYMS-88.9FM), the station announced Monday.

Zori will continue to host the station's 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekday morning show, and Music Director Justin Barney will step in as the station's Assistant Program Director and Afternoon Host.

"We are incredibly excited to elevate Jordan, Dori and Justin's roles within Radio Milwaukee," Executive Director Kevin Sucher said. "Jordan has been leading our 88Nine programming for over five years and has proven abilities to think creatively and develop new products that fulfill our mission. Dori brings 20-plus years of non-commercial radio experience to her role as Program Director and is already freshening up our Sunday evening offerings."

As Station Director, Jordan will be responsible for the development of new products that allow for greater music discovery and work towards the station's mission of serving all of Milwaukee. Lee also serves as the executive producer for speciality program Rhythm Lab Radio, which the station recently announced is available for nation-wide syndication.

"Radio Milwaukee's mission of creating a more inclusive and engaged Milwaukee is more critical now than ever before," said Lee. "I am excited for this opportunity to think into the future about how we can create new opportunities that provide all of Milwaukee with the resources of public radio."

Dori will be Radio Milwaukee's first female Program Director and will oversee all aspects of the 88.9FM station broadcast, including an overhaul of the station's Sunday evening programming.
