Audacy is expanding the leadership responsibilities of programming executive JR Ammons, naming him Brand Manager for Mix 96.5 KHMX-FM in Houston. The move places Ammons in charge of the station’s overall programming strategy, operations, and talent development.
This move adds to Ammons’ current leadership portfolio, which includes oversight of 99.7 The Point KZPT-FM and 106.5 The Wolf WDAF-FM in Kansas City, as well as 102.5 KEZK and Y98 KYKY-FM in St. Louis. He also serves as Vice President of Programming for Audacy Kansas City.
“JR is a great leader who has delivered outstanding results, and I look forward to seeing him expand his expertise to Mix 96.5,” said Audacy Houston SVP and Market Manager Sarah Frazier.
“Mix 96.5 is one of the most listened to Hot AC stations in the country, with a weekly audience of over a million people,” Ammons said. “I’m incredibly excited for the opportunity to work alongside the talented team at KHMX.”
Ammons rejoined Audacy in 2022 after serving 11 years as Operations Manager for WZPL-FM, WNTR-FM, and WXNT-AM in Indianapolis. His programming career also includes stops at WSTR-FM in Atlanta, WAPE-FM in Jacksonville, and KMXV-FM in Kansas City.
