Jess is leaving the Mix 106.5 Baltimore morning show. Her family relocation prompted the decision.
What We Know Jess spent six years anchoring the Kramer & Jess show at Mix 106.5. Moreover, she embedded herself deeply in Baltimore and Central Maryland culture. The Audacy station subsequently confirmed her departure via social channels. Finally, she’ll pursue new opportunities in her family’s new location.
What They Said The outlet celebrated her impact through a heartfelt statement. “In the last six years, Jess has ingrained herself in Baltimore and Central Maryland,” Mix 106.5 noted. “She bought all the Old Bay, Natty Bo, Ravens, and O’s gear, and lived her life on-air and on social with a transparency and openness seldom found in content creators.” Additionally, they continued: “Jess, we’re gonna miss you, no doubt. Yet we’re all excited to see your next chapter as we follow along on IG.”
What Remains Unclear Mix 106.5 hasn’t announced Kramer’s future with the morning show yet. Furthermore, the station also hasn’t revealed who replaces Jess or if the format shifts. Likewise, a replacement timeline hasn’t emerged publicly.
What It Means Morning show departures create immediate challenges for programming directors. Similarly, authentic talent departures remind the industry that real connection drives audience loyalty. Jess’s six-year run proves that vulnerability and transparency resonate with listeners. Consequently, she moves forward to build something new while Audacy strategizes its next move.
