Langmyer will oversee the programming of Journal Broadcast Group?s flagship WTMJ-AM in Milwaukee.

WTMJ is Wisconsin?s iconic news/talk station with great personalities and dependable news, and it?s also revered as the home of the Packers, Brewers, Badgers, and Bucks. I?m honored and excited to join Steve, Beverlee, and the Journal Broadcast team in serving listeners in a variety of markets.?
