She thanked listeners for their engagement over the years and noted, “The state of radio today can be hard to love,” adding that her next steps are “TBD.”

Lee joined Cumulus Topeka in January 2014, overseeing the six-station group including Majic 107.7 (KMAJ-FM), V100 (KDVV-FM), 99.3 The Eagle (KWIC-FM), 102.9 Cat Country (KTOP-FM), AM 1440 KMAJ, and AM 1490 KTOP. She also served as Program Director and afternoon host for Majic 107.7 and, earlier this year, added PD duties for CHR “107.3 The Vibe” (KMJK) in Kansas City.

Prior to Cumulus, Lee was Operations Manager for Great Plains Media’s Lawrence, Kansas, cluster from 2009 to 2013 and held on-air roles at stations in Joplin, Missouri; Boise, Idaho; and the Twin Cities.
