Jay Michaels
Waterloo Media has named veteran programmer Jay Michaels Program Director for Hot AC KGSR (Star 933)/Austin, effective immediately. He re-joins longtime employer, owner and friend Bob Sinclair, Scott Gillmore and the entire staff in Austin.
Michaels commented, “Working with Bob and the people at Waterloo I’ve known and respected for many years is like coming home and an incredible opportunity where I started in radio, I’m ready! Being a family man and close to family, friends and one of the strongest companies in the country is an incredible opportunity that takes me home.”
Sinclair added, “Jay is absolutely one the hardest working, smartest, and with-it people I have ever known. We are lucky to have him back in Austin. I am also very lucky to have Krash Kelly who started Star933 for us and will continue to lead BOB-FM, quite possibly the most ratings dominant radio station in America for the last 15 years.”
Waterloo Media SVP/Market Manager Scott Gillmore noted, “It’s rare that you get to work with someone as talented as Jay twice in the same market. I’m thrilled that he’s re-joining our team in Austin.”
Michaels had served as PD for Hot AC KQKQ (Sweet 98.5), Rhythmic KOPW (Power 106.9)/Omaha and Adult Hits B (101.9 The Keg). His previous programmings stops have included KVIL (then AMP 103.7) & KJKK (100.3 Jack FM)/Dallas, KDMX & KDGE/Dallas and KRBE/Houston.
