Saga Communications' Des Moines Media Group has announced the addition of Ethan Jackson as its new Production Director and midday host on KAZR-FM (Laser 103.3). Jackson joins the team from Cumulus Topeka, where he held multiple roles including air talent, Assistant Program Director, and Production Director. He steps into the midday slot previously occupied by longtime host Suzy Colling, who retired in April.

"We are excited for the experience, knowledge, and talent that Ethan brings to the Production Director position as well as Middays on Lazer 103.3," said Stephanie Heide, Vice President and General Manager of Des Moines Media Group. "He is a fantastic addition to our team here at Des Moines Media Group."

Jackson expressed his enthusiasm for the move, saying, "Thank you to Stephanie Heide, Leigh McNabb, and Wes Styles for giving me the opportunity to join the team at Des Moines Media Group. Lazer 103.3 is a powerhouse, and I could not be more excited to join an already incredible on-air lineup. I can't wait to rock with everyone in Des Moines."
