KQKQ Launches ‘Nikki & Spicoli Mornings’
• NRG Media Hot AC KQKQ (Sweet 98.5)/Omaha today launches its newly revamped morning show — Nikki & Spicoli Mornings makes its market debut at 6am today. The new show pairs current KQKQ morning host, Nikki Oswald, with market veteran Jason Spicoli, who has anchored Spicoli’s Morning Fiasco for the past 18 years on non-comm KIWR (89.7 The River).
David Adams, OM of NRG Omaha and PD of KQKQ, commented, “Jason’s passion and creativity, partnered with Nikki’s enthusiasm and authenticity as well as their undeniable chemistry should make for a very engaging show! Nikki & Spicoli Mornings is sure to connect with the Sweet 98.5 audience in an impactful and meaningful way.”
Oswald noted, “I’ve known Jason for a hundred years (15, actually) and I am PUMPED to have an old radio friend join me in the mornings on Sweet 98.5. As two Nebraska kids who grew up listening to Sweet 98.5, this is the dream. Super excited to bring high energy back to morning radio in Omaha.”
No less excited is Spicoli, who remarked, “Ecstatic is an understatement! I grew up listening to Sweet 98.5 and this is THE STATION that got me hooked on radio. I’m grateful to be here, teamed up with the highly talented Nikki Oswald to shake up your mornings! Thank you to GM Mark Shecterle and David for giving me this golden opportunity!” Spicoli succeeds Oswald’s former co-host Laura Blenkush, who resigned in July.
