Nick Wize has been named APD for KRQQ, KOHT, an KMIY effective June 11. He will also take over afternoon drive on KRQQ. Wize was mostly recently with iHeart Detroit, where his roles included APD and on-air talent for WKQI. He has also worked for stations in New York and Florida. In related moves, KRQQ/KOHT Program Director D-Wayne Chavez will move to afternoon drive on KOHT and Suzette Rodriguez shifts to the midday slot.
“Adding someone of Nick’s caliber to the already strong KRQ lineup is like winning the lottery,” said David Adams, Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Tucson. “Nick will be an extremely valuable addition to the team, both on and off the air. At the same time, D-Wayne’s return to afternoon drive on KOHT is a game-changer for the station….Finally, moving Suzette to middays brings her star power and charisma to this important daypart as well as enhances our local connection with our listeners.”
“I’m excited to sell my snow blower and join the amazing team at iHeartMedia Tucson,” said Wize. “Special thanks to David Adams, Paul Kelley, D-Wayne Chavez, and Mike Saffer for trusting me behind the mic of the legendary 93.7 KRQ.”
