"From the first time I spoke to Melissa Chase and Sarah Frazier, I knew this is where I wanted to be," added Michaels. "The culture and environment that they've built in Houston is amazing! KHMX is an iconic station and I'm still pinching myself that I'll get to be a part of it. I'm so excited to join an innovative and audio-first company like Audacy."
