Zero: Fargo’s New Hero

• Midwest Communications keeps it in the family at KOYY (Y94)/Fargo, ND, promoting Corey “Zero” Schaefer to Brand Manager of the 100,000-watt Top 40 blowtorch. Schaefer will hang onto his other day job, hosting the Y94 Morning Playhouse with Rat and Maiyah.

“I am beyond excited to be trusted with the leadership of Y94!” said Zero, who was born in Fargo and raised in the Twin Cities. “Y94 is an absolutely iconic radio brand in the Fargo-Moorhead market. I do not take lightly the challenge of continuing its tradition of excellence. I have proudly been part of this station’s legacy for the past decade and strongly feel that the best is yet to come.”

Fargo Market Manager Dan Cash said, “I could not be more pleased to bring Zero into the forefront as the passionate, loyal and dedicated Brand Manager that Y94 deserves. His longstanding role as a member of the Y94 Morning Playhouse, community involvement and his genuine passion for the radio brand is why he is the perfect candidate to lead the charge.” Zero replaces Jack Spade, who exited last month.
