“Channel 94.1” KQCH Omaha Music Director/midday host Chi has moved across town to join NRG Media in the dual role of afternoon host at Hot AC “Sweet 98.5” KQKQ and Music Director/1-3pm host at Rhythmic CHR “Power 106.9” KOPW.
Chi began her career at CHR KFRX Lincoln and served as a producer at News/Talk KFOR Lincoln before joining KQCH in 2014 and later rising to Music Director.
Chi takes the afternoon slot at KQKQ that had been held by Laura Blenkush’s move to mornings last month. At KOPW she’ll fill the role previously held by DJ Shor T who exited at the end of January after seven years with the station.
Thirteen-year on-air Nebraskan veteran “Chi” is taking over afternoons on SWEET 98.5 for NRG Media in Omaha. Chi made a guest appearance on the SWEET 98.5 morning show with Nikki & Laura on Friday morning making the long-awaited announcement.
Chi will host the afternoon show on SWEET 98.5 (3-7p.m.) starting Monday, February 17. In addition, Chi will also serve as the Music Director for sister station POWER 106.9, and be on-air for POWER from 1-3p.m.
Thirteen years in radio, Chi is no stranger to Omaha or Nebraska broadcast waves. She started her career doing afternoons at KFRX, and producing for a two-time Marconi winner Problems & Solutions at KFOR. In 2014, she moved to Omaha to do middays on KQCH and later became music director. Chi stated, “Radio is my passion and NRG Media is giving me an opportunity to grow my roots further into Omaha. It’s like a dream come true!”
General Manager Mark Shecterle stated, “We could not be more pleased with the addition of Chi to the NRG family. Chi has a great reputation in the market with both listeners and clients. She will be a great addition to our team and we are blessed to have her.”
Jay Michaels, Program Director for SWEET 98.5 and POWER 106.9 said, “Chi will round out the team on SWEET 98.5, and will be a great addition to our POWER on-air staff. Chi is well known in the record industry and very well respected. We are thrilled to have her join our team.”
