Cumulus has appointed Dana Wessel as Executive Producer for 93X/KXXR-FM's "Half-Assed Morning Show." Wessel will also be heard on the show, which features an ensemble cast.

A popular fixture on Twin Cities radio, Wessel's 15-year radio career includes roles as producer, on-air host and sports writer at stations including KFAN, AM-1500/KSTP-AM, and Go 96.3, where he was most recently morning show host. 93X's Half-Assed Morning Show airs on 93X, Minnesota's Rock Station, Monday through Friday from 5:40am-9:00am.

"We are really fired up to add someone to the Half-Assed Morning Show who's been a Twin Cities star in the morning in his own right," said PD Derek Madden. "We talked with a number of great people about this opening, but nobody fit our brand of insanity quite like Dana. He feels like a part of The Brotherhood already. Thank you to Shelly Wilkes, Brian Philips, Troy Hanson, Doug Hamand, and Dave Milner for helping to make it happen."

"I am thrilled to get to continue doing radio right here in my hometown, especially with such a legendary show," said Wessel. "I used to be late for high school because I didn't want to get out of my car and turn off the Half-Assed Morning Show. To now be working alongside Nick and Josh really is a dream. My high school self would have fainted if he knew this would happen one day."
