Audacy appoints JR Ammons as Operations Manager of KQRC-FM (98.9 The Rock), KRBZ-FM (ALT 96.5), WDAF-FM (106.5 The Wolf) and KZPT-FM (99.7 The Point) in Kansas City, effective February 1. Ammons will also serve as Brand Manager of 106.5 The Wolf and 99.7 The Point. A 30-year industry vet, Ammons joins Audacy after spending the last 11 years as Operations Manager for WZPL-FM, WNTR-FM and WXNT-AM in Indianapolis. He also has prior programming stops at co-owned WSTR-FM (Star 94) in Atlanta, WAPE-FM in Jacksonville FL and KMXV-FM in Kansas City.

"We couldn't be happier to welcome JR back to Audacy to lead our collection of music brands here in Kansas City," said Audacy Kansas City Senior Vice President and Market Manager Roxanne Marati. "His extensive background operating multiple stations will position him for success, and we look forward to working alongside him in this next chapter of his career."

"I'm so thankful for the 11 years I've spent in Indianapolis; we've had so much fun, made so many lifelong friends and had so much success," added Ammons. "But the opportunity to come back to Audacy and work with Roxanne was simply too good to pass up. I couldn't be more excited to be a part of the team she's building in Kansas City."
