CHR WKSZ (95.9 Kiss FM)/Green Bay-Appleton, WI names Reed Petitpren as Digital Content Creator and afternoon host, while Edgar Ybarra is named Music Director and midday host. Petitpren begins his new duties on May 3 and Ybarra will start Monday, May 9. Petitpren was previously at Alternative KQGO (GO 96.3)/Minneapolis. Ybarra, a market vet, most recently worked for V-Creative and Cumulus.

Petitpren said, "I am excited to work with the great crew here at WRG. There is something about the vibe here that is just different. WRG does radio the way radio is supposed to be done; local and community oriented."

Ybarra added, "I found the elusive unicorn in Woodward Radio Group. I'm excited to join the team. The opportunity to be live and local and to be able to create fresh and new content on KISS-FM for Northeast wisconsin is one I couldn't pass up. The team that has been put together for Kiss-FM and all of Woodward is top notch. It's a rare vibe to find in the radio business these days and I'm really happy to be part of it."

Brand Manager Joe Marroe said, "losing two major talents of the station (Heather Storm and Drake Webb) in the last 6 months was a huge hit, but taking the time and doing it right, both Petitpren and Ybarra should be staples of the station for years to come."
