Audacy has elevated KiKi B. Jones to Brand Manager of WAMO 107.3 in Pittsburgh. In her new role, Jones will oversee the station's content strategy, talent, operations and branding while continuing to host middays weekdays from 10am-4pm ET.

"I've had the privilege of knowing KiKi for over 10 years and have watched her continue to grow," said Audacy Rhythmic AC and Throwback Format Vice President Skip Dillard. "I'm so happy for her elevation and can't wait to see her lead the station into its next evolution."

A Pittsburgh native with more than 25 years of broadcasting experience, Jones has a longtime connection to WAMO. She grew up around the station while following in the footsteps of her father, who was an on-air personality. Her career has included stops in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New York and Washington, DC.

Jones joined Audacy in 2021 as host of "What's Good In Your Hood" on WAMO. The program continues to air Wednesdays at 2pm ET, with a "What's Good In Your Hood Recap" heard Thursdays at 9:20am on sister KDKA Newsradio (KDKA-AM) with Larry Richert.

"I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead WAMO 107.3, a station with such a rich history and deep connection to Pittsburgh," said Jones. "There's something especially meaningful about stepping into this role in my hometown and helping shape the future of a brand that means so much to our community."
