Mike Neville and Megan Rieder

Adult Hits KOOO (101.9 The Keg) in Omaha, NE ups market vet and long-time afternoon host Mike Neville, to the role of Music Director. He started his tenure at 101.9 The Keg as parttime and weekend talent and moved up through the ranks through the station to his newly dubbed title.

Across the hallway at Hot AC KQKQ (Sweet 98.5)/Omaha, morning show co-host, Megan Rieder, is named Music Director. She has a career that has taken her full circle from Omaha, Knoxville, Lincoln NE and back home to Omaha.

Operations Manager Steve King said, "This is an exciting moment for NRG Media Omaha. Both Mike and Megan came to me and raised their hands to do more with the direction of their radio stations. Because they are extremely dialed into their formats, passionate about the music and came in with a strategy, this was an easy decision"

Neville commented, "101.9 The Keg has been my radio home for the last decade. I'm honored and excited for the opportunity to continue building on our past success and take this station to its full potential with all our amazing on-air talent and unique playlist."

Rieder added, "I'm super stoked to be taking on this new role as MD of Sweet 98.5. As an Omaha native, this is a station I've listened to since I was a kid, and doing the morning show alongside my partner-in-crime, Spicoli, has been a total "pinch-me" moment. This has been a career-long goal, and to say I'm grateful be given this opportunity is an understatement. We love connecting with our listeners every morning, and this is just another way I'll be able to do that."
