Radio Milwaukee is launching new programming and new hosts beginning Sunday, March 17. This includes an expanded partnership with National Public Radio (NPR) Music to bring listeners elevated Sunday programming. The collaboration and programming will provide listeners with even more shows, extending beyond its current offerings and strengthening its position as a source of news, music and cultural commentary.
"For the past decade, NPR Music has set the standard for new music discovery. From their widely popular tiny desk concerts to nationally syndicated programs like All Songs Considered, NPR Music, defines new music discovery in the 21st century," said 88Nine Senior Director of Programming Jordan Lee. "We've been excited to contribute to NPR Music for years, but our new Sunday programming is solidifying an even deeper relationship with the brand and bringing NPR Music excellence to Milwaukee."
Listeners can look forward to a host of NPR shows and an opportunity to hear from more musical artists, covering a wide range of musical genres. The four featured shows include "All Songs Considered," "World Cafe," "Alt. Latino" hosted by Felix Contreras & Anamaria Sayre and "Jazz Night in America."
In addition to the NPR programming, 88Nine and HYFIN are introducing new on-air hosts. Digital Director Tarik Moody will move from behind the mic and shift his role of managing HYFIN and all of Radio Milwaukee's digital footprint to more interactive content. Additionally, new HYFIN air personalities Megan Mathews and Kim Shine will join HYFIN's lineup.
"Growing HYFIN's on-air staff and programming in ways that reflect HYFIN's listenership is exciting and rewarding. Megan Mathews and Kim Shine will bring segments that resonate with our next generation of listeners, and I look forward to leading the station behind the scenes," said Digital Director Tarik Moody.
Carolann Grzybowski will host a show on 88Nine every weeknight at 9pm. Britt Gottschalk, Mallorey Wallace and Salam Fatayer will also join the 88Nine airwaves. Salam has been the voice and mind behind Uniquely Milwaukee programming and podcasts for many years. She will continue to be a voice of community storytelling while adding her presence as a Saturday DJ.
