Carol Vonn Takes Middays At WKTI
• Scripps Media’s WKTI (94.5 KTI Country)/Milwaukee wisely takes advantage of the valuable 15-year market equity possessed by Carol Vonn, naming her as the station’s new midday personality and Community Relations Director. Vonn will succeed Jillene Khan, who is leaving for an on-air position outside of Milwaukee.
Von (left) is a Midwest native who worked for iHeartMedia Classic Hits WRIT until 2007 and has been with Milwaukee Radio Alliance AC WLDB (B93.3) since then. She now joins recently added market icon Karen Dalessandro (now in afternoon drive) with the mission to expand WKTI’s commitment to being the local, hometown Country station.
“KTI Country is thrilled to feature another locally-known and talented host in Carol Vonn,” said PD Ryan Wild. “In addition to hosting the midday show, Carol will lead the station’s community relations effort. From fundraising for the USO of Wisconsin, appearing weekly around the area for the Hunger Task Force to coordinating on-air interviews and events, Carol will help KTI Country further deepen its commitment to serving our community.”
Vonn is currently covering the vacant KTI Country morning show and we are told she will assume the midday position when the new wake-up show is in place.
