Crystal McKenzie returns to AAA WTTS in Indianapolis as afternoon host and program assistant, beginning September 26. Previously, she's held stints at Classic Rock WFBQ, CHR WZPL, and Christian WKLU in the market. The 25-year media veteran has also held on-air posts in Orlando, Raleigh, Sacramento, San Francisco and Washington DC. McKenzie was also MD and afternoon host on SiriusXM's 80's channel.

McKenzie said, "Music is my favorite subject. That makes me a perfect fit for WTTS. My second favorite subject is my hometown of Indy. Radio has taken me to ten different cities, and I have learned to appreciate Hoosier Hospitality. Thank you, Lenny Diana and Brad Holtz, for believing in me. What a tremendous opportunity."

WTTS President/GM Brad Holtz added, "I have long admired Crystal's style and approach. We're delighted to welcome her to WTTS and can't wait for our listeners to make her a part of their afternoons."

"To have a person like Crystal join WTTS with her level of experience and music knowledge has become a rarity in today's radio world. We are happy to have her become a face and voice of WTTS," said PD Lenny Diana.
