Alternative KRAT (ALT 92.1)/Reno, NV names market native Tim "Rayne" Rainey for mornings. Most recently, he served as PD/morning show host at CHR KUDL (106.5 The End)/Sacramento. Previously, Rainey programmed Alternative WDZH (98.7 AMP Radio)/Detroit and CHR WNOW (Radio Now 100.9)/Indianapolis. He also serves as the PA announcer for the minor-league Sacramento River Cats and handles fill-in for the San Francisco Giants.

"Growing up in Reno, it's great to be back on the air in the city that started it all for me. ALT 92.1 has quickly become the alternative music voice of the Truckee Meadows and I'm excited to be a part of it," said Rainey. "ALT 92.1 is terrific. This week alone, I've had The Killers, Jack White and Maneskin on the show, and I've asked the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tame Impala to join me next week."

GM Henry Evans added, "Tim is a great addition to the ALT 92.1 team. He's a native Nevadan, has major-market experience, and a passion for the format. We're anticipating big things for his morning show, and we are thrilled to have him on board."
