Longtime on-air host and current Music Director Jade Tittle will depart Minnesota Public Radio AAA KCMP (89.3 The Current) in Minneapolis after fifteen years. She joined KCMP in 2008 as overnight host and has also been special event coordinator, morning producer and host of the Music News podcast and video. Tittle moved into middays in 2015, and added MD duties in 2021. She'll relinquish middays at the end of this week.

Jade said in a statement, "Thanks for your generosity and kindness over the last 15 years of hanging out together. It was my childhood dream to be able to just talk about music with people all day and get paid to do it. It has surpassed my expectations in what a joy it is to be part of this community.

"As someone who constantly craves creative growth, The Current has been a wonderful place to challenge myself on-air, producing, trying out podcasts and videos and streams, traveling to bring the best music and experiences to listeners, and creating a playlist that values diversity, parity, and storytelling. The thing about dreams is that they change as you grow and I'm ready to move on to my next dream. Thank you for your conversations, time, and trust over the years. I'll miss you."
