CHR WNKS-FM (Kiss 95.1)/Charlotte announces a new lineup featuring new morning, midday and night shows. Maney, LauRen and Roy (pictured) have inked a deal to take over mornings from 6-10am. Maney has been part of the Kiss morning show for over three years, while LauRen has done TV in Pittsburgh and talk radio stints in Sports Radio at WINZ-AM/Miami and most recently WZGV-AM (730 ESPN) in Charlotte. Hailing from WXLK-FM (K92)/Roanoke, Roy Brown rounds out the morning program.

From 10am-3pm Kiss middays will continue to be music intensive with Riley who has been with the station since last September. Originally from Ocean Township, NJ, where she had a brief acting and modeling career, Riley is passionate about the music, active with social media and a self-proclaimed fashionista.

Afternoon drive host and Music Director Otis will continue during the 3pm-7pm shift. After searching for the perfect fit for nights, AJ Anelli is filling the 7-midnight slot weekdays. AJ is rejoining his Kiss 95.1 family since leaving in 2012 where he held down on-air, promotion and production duties. He was most recently on staff at WERO-FM (Bob 93.3)/Washington, NC.

"This is an exciting and robust addition to Kiss95.1's line up of competitive local radio talent and is dedicated to give our listeners the best on air product," said Operations Manager/Program Director John Reynolds. "Kiss continues to dominate in the Charlotte market by recruiting top notch talent."
