HUGE Changes At Kiss!

T

TheMusicMan

So as you know, Kasper's been voicetracking nights for the past few months from WIOQ/Philly. Turns out he's going to be back on afternoons...permanently, live and local! He's returning for the APD/MD/Afternoon gig, as Stick isn't at Kiss anymore. That's huge - I know both guys are talented, but I have a feeling a lot of folks will remember Kasper and enjoy his show again, he is truly the cream of the crop.

Also, the night gig has been filled, and it went to J-Nice, who had auditioned and is coming from weekends at WIHT/Washington.
 
Official word from All Access

From allaccess:

CLEAR CHANNEL Top 40 WAKS (96.5 KISS-FM)/CLEVELAND PD DAN MASON announces that sister Top 40 WIOQ (Q-102)/PHILADELPHIA afternooner (and WAKS voicetracking night slammer) KASPER is returning to CLEVELAND to assume the APD/MD/afternoon drive post, effective in late AUGUST or early SEPTEMBER. This marks a homecoming for OHIO-native KASPER, who returns to the same position that he held at WAKS before heading to WIOQ late last year.

Stepping into the now-vacant night slot will be sister Top 40 WIHT (HOT 99.5)/WASHINGTON D.C. weekend/swing shifter J-NIICE, a relative newcomer to the radio game who's been behind the mic less than 2 years. His first night in the building will be JULY 18th.


As a result of the above changes, WAKS and current afternooner STICK "ON THE RADIO" part company. STICK will continue to voicetrack afternoons at 94.7 HITS-FM/MONTREAL and X107.1 in the CAYMEN ISLANDS, as well as do swing at Z100/NEW YORK. He won't be idle for long, so pick up STICK at (216) 269-5500 or [email protected].

Wow. Never ever saw that one coming. Will be great to hear Kasper again, but I feel bad for Stick. Best wishes to ya Stick....I know you'll get something great.
 
Re: Official word from All Access

A check of kisscleveland.com shows that it is as if Stick never existed on 96.5 I know Stick was on as normal on Tuesday...didn't get to hear if he was on today or not. Was he?

It appears Dylan will be covering afternoon drive until Kasper makes it back to C-Town.

Nope. Dan Mason was on. Stick has left the building.
 
Re: Official word from All Access

One thing is for sure in radio: change is constant!

Glad Kasper is coming back. Enjoy the voicetracked night show, but we all can probably agree live and local is the best if it can be done.
