Audacy's WKSE-FM (Kiss 98.5) in Buffalo has added Nikki Preston as morning co-host alongside Nicholas Picholas and Wease. The show airs weekdays from 6-10am ET. Preston returns to Western New York after more than a decade working in Southern California. She most recently hosted middays on 96.7 KCAL Rocks.

"We are excited to welcome Nikki Preston to Audacy Buffalo," said Audacy Regional Vice President Sue O'Neil. "Her on-air, podcast experience makes her a strong addition to mornings. We look forward to teaming her up with Nicholas and Wease to wake up listeners every day."

A Rochester native, Preston began her media career hosting on 94.1 The Zone and co-hosting News 10 NBC's "Get Out of the House." Her subsequent roles included producing and hosting the "Jesse Duran Show" on KOLA 99.9 in San Bernardino and "The Dana and Jayson Show" on Audacy's ALT 94.9 in San Diego.

"I'm beyond excited to be returning to Western New York after more than a decade on-air in Southern California," said Preston. "I can't thank Sue O'Neil and the entire team enough for welcoming me back and allowing me to get behind the mic and do what I love, in a place that has always felt like home."
