‘Melz On The Mic’ Exits KISX (107.3 Kiss-FM)/Tyler-Longview, Texas
Veteran radio personality MELZ ON THE MIC (JAMIEN GREEN) has exited TOWNSQUARE MEDIA Urban KISX (107.3 KISS-FM)/TYLER-LONGVIEW, TX, where he served as Brand Mgr./afternoons. His departure follows a four-year run with the station.
MELZ told SWM, “I am so thankful to the TYLER-LONGVIEW and EAST TEXAS community of listeners for opening up their doors to me and not only welcoming me but participating in all the great events we brought to the area including ‘BROWN LIQUOR MUSIC SUNDAYS,’ supporting the many concerts and events we brought.”
“That includes shows with LUDACRIS, NELLY, and a bevy of SOUTHERN SOUL stars, and giving back to the community with MELZ BIRTHDAY TURKEY GIVEAWAY among other initiatives. It’s for those reasons and more, we returned the brand to #1, making this the second brand I’ve led to the top of the ratings. EAST TEXAS is a great region with amazing communities that are on the rise, and I’m proud to have helped usher in new energy to help them grow.”
Before joining KISX, MELZ spent nearly a decade with the TOWNSQUARE MEDIA’s KILLEEN-TEMPLE cluster. He worked at Urban KOOC (B106) and Urban AC KSSM (MY KISS 103.1). He started his career in sales before moving on-air at KOOC. Eventually he joined KSSM as APD/MD before transitioning over to KISX in NOVEMBER 2020. He was promoted to Brand Mgr. in 2022.
MELZ will continue to host and produce the syndicated “BROWN LIQUOR MUSIC” Southern Soul & Blues Mixshow and plans to focus on new video and audio podcast productions and voiceover work.
