Midwest Communications CHR “Y94” 93.7 KOYY Fargo has announced that afternoon host Amy Kaye is joining the station’s “Morning Playhouse”.
Kaye joins incumbent co-hosts Jaime Mac and Corey ‘Zero’ Schaffer in mornings. She fills the slot that had been held by Rat McMahon from 2002-2019 prior to his exit last July. Elliot ‘E’ Hoesktra had been filling in on the show, but has now shifted to his focus to serving as Brand Manager/afternoon host on Country “Froggy 99.9” KVOX-FM.
Since joining KOYY in February 2015, Kaye has now worked in every daypart at the station.
Midwest Communications Top 40 Y94 shuffles the deck and moves its former Afternoon superstar, Amy Kaye, to The Y94 Morning Playhouse. Amy joins the existing team of Jamie Mac and Playhouse veteran Zero.
Kaye comments, “When the opportunity came for me to move to the legendary Morning Playhouse with Zero and Jamie I had to take it! I’m so excited! Plus, it’s amazing to be a part of a 3 person show with 2 out of the 3 hosts being female. It’s not something you see a lot in radio”.
Amy slides into the role most previously held by male personalities. 17-year veteran “Rat” exited Y94 and The Playhouse July 2019, the seat was filled temporarily by Elliot “E” Hoekstra who has since moved to the Brand Manager role on sister country KVOX-FM, Froggy 99.9.
FM Operations Manager Corey “Zero” Schaffer, a 12-year Playhouse staple, comments, “I’m the one person more pumped than Amy that she’s joining The Playhouse, she brings an unmistakable energy and enthusiasm that’s going to help elevate the show to new heights!”
This change concludes Amy Kaye’s grand tour of the Y94 airwaves, having previously succeeded in Nights, Middays and most recently Afternoons on the station.
