What They Said Skip Dillard, rhythmic AC and throwback format vice president for Audacy, praised the decision: “I’ve had the privilege of knowing KiKi for over 10 years and have watched her continue to grow. I’m so happy for her elevation and can’t wait to see her lead the station into its next evolution.” Jones expressed gratitude: “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead WAMO 107.3, a station with such a rich history. Radio has taken me on an amazing journey. Still, there’s something especially meaningful about stepping into this role in my hometown.”

What Remains Unclear The announcement doesn’t specify budget allocations for initiatives. No timeline emerges for strategic programming changes. Furthermore, expanded organizational structure details remain unaddressed. The scope of her influence across Pittsburgh’s cluster isn’t specified.

What It Means This promotion represents Audacy’s investment in developing Pittsburgh talent internally. Jones becomes one of few women leading a major-market urban station. Her elevation signals the company’s confidence in homegrown leadership. Ultimately, WAMO 107.3 enters a new chapter under her direction.
