Saga Communication Rock “Lazer 103.3” KAZR Pella/Des Moines has added Mike Wickett as its new morning co-host alongside Heather Lee.
Wickett most recently has been hosting a weekly show for Saga’s “ESPN 1350” KRNT Des Moines. He previously co-hosted middays at Audacy News/Talk 98.1 KMBZ-FM Kansas City until November 2019. Wickett co-hosted mornings at Sports 1250 WSSP Milwaukee from 2006 to 2016 and has also worked at Cumulus’ 1050 WTKA Ann Arbor MI. He left KMBZ-FM to follow his wife Leigh McNabb to Des Moines when she was named Saga’s Operations Manager and be a stay-at-home dad to their three young children.
He fills the opening created by the resignation of Sean ‘Fish’ Fisher in February. Fish and Heather Lee joined KAZR last November following which Lee was the victim of vulgar, misogynistic on-air comments from then WHMH-FM Sauk Rapids MN morning host Aaron Imholte who was bitter for not being considered for the job.
