After five years in mornings at Saga Communications Rock “Lazer 103.3” KAZR Pella/Des Moines, Mike Wickett will depart the show on Tuesday, March 31.

Wickett shared on Facebook, “THANK YOU to every LAZER Hellraiser for welcoming this White Claw-drinking, sports nerd, father of 3 into your mornings the last 5 years. Local radio is truly special, especially in a city like Des Moines, Iowa and at a station that’s been around for 30 years. I knew this was a special community at the 2021 Limp Bizkit show when a LAZER listener skipped up to me & said, “Welcome to the LAZER family, Wickett” and then skipped away.”

Wickett joined KAZR to co-host mornings with Heather Lee in April 2021 after hosting a weekly show for Saga’s “ESPN 1350/102.1” KRNT. Prior to arriving in Des Moines to accompany his wife Leigh McNabb when she joined Saga as Operations Manager in 2019, Wickett co-hosted middays at Audacy News/Talk 98.1 KMBZ-FM Kansas City, mornings at Sports 1250 WSSP Milwaukee from 2006 to 2016, also worked at Cumulus’ 1050 WTKA Ann Arbor MI. He also provides local sports updates and hosts a Friday show for KRNT and also currently hosts weekends for Westwood One Sports Network.
