Ben E. Krooze! WNKO/WHTH Program Director / Morning Show Host - One of the most difficult things on earth is writing a blurb about yourself without sounding narcissistic, so I'm not even going to try! Seriously, have you ever seen a more photogenic DJ in your life? After moving here in October of '05, I'm finally a "Nerk"ian. During my time here I've noticed a growing personal affinity for flannel, football, and extremely large baskets. Plus, when you factor in that all of my immediate family is at least 4 1/2 hours away, back in Indiana, I'm pretty much in Heaven. (Just kidding Mom) It is my extreme pleasure to help start your day, each weekday morning, with Dave "The Newsman" Doney, hopefully we'll compliment that morning cup-o-joe!

Dave Doney! WNKO/WHTH News Director - After spending the majority of my life in northeast Ohio, my family and I decided it was time to head south and tackle a new challenge. Before taking this job the only thing I knew about Licking County was the folks were passionate about their high school football, and that certainly hasn't changed, but I'm finding there are many other great things about the area. Before becoming a part of the WNKO/WHTH team, I was a sports reporter and news anchor at a local radio station in Akron. My wife Jodi and our boys, David and Justin, are excited about the "Big Move" to this part of the state and we are looking forward to joining the community and taking part in all that it has to offer. I'm grateful every day for the opportunity to inform and entertain, and hope you enjoy the best news coverage in Licking County. Join me for your "LIVE and LOCAL News" every weekday morning beginning at 6:00 a.m.! E-mail me at: news@wnko.com! |

Evenings with Rob Diehl! - Well I'm not one to talk about myself, so I'll just stick to the basics! I was born and raised not too far from Newark in Circleville, Ohio - you know "round town", the "pumpkin show" and probably a lot of other nicknames that will confuse you! I've been in radio for 10 years and have loved every minute of it! I'm one of those fortunate people who gets to have fun while calling it work. I'm extremely excited to be a part of your community and Classic Hits KOOL 101.7. Join me each weekday from 3pm til midnight and don't forget the "8 O'Clock Rock" taking your request with special themes and Artist Spotlights! I want to hear from you, just drop me a line anytime at (740) 522-8395 or e-quest at studio@wnko.com! I look forward to hearing from each and everyone of you! |

Lisa Lynn! - I'm baaaaaack!!! It's great to return "Home" to Classic Hits KOOL 101.7! I started here in 2001 and took a couple of short breaks to have some babies, but now they've grown enough that I can get back to serving up your requests during the Lunchtime Café and I'm lovin' every minute of it! I truly do love these classic hits as much as you and I'm so blessed that I get to sing along with you every day at "work"! So join me for prizes, requests and maybe a little celebrity gossip...all workday long!! |
