Kriss to leave Lite 101.9

Kay Kriss’s exit from Lite 101.9 was her decision, according to Program Director Billy Shears. Kriss is co-host with Jack Swanda on the soft rock station’s morning show.

“She (Kriss) is going to be leaving but we don’t have a date on that at this time,” Shears said. “She’s getting out of radio. She’s still going to be on the staff and filling in, part time, so it’s not like she’s leaving-leaving. But she’s not going to be doing the day to day anymore.”

Shears said the station will find a replacement for Kriss to join Swanda. For his part, Swanda – who was half of the popular “Jack & Fred Show” – just signed a new contract. Shears wouldn’t give any more details on Swanda’s new contract.

Their nonformat needs to go away with her. Their are at least four other stations in the area who could pick up their listernes and start making profit. An CHR or urban format or even an non lite AC could serve both omaha and lincoln well.
