WISN RADIO (AM 1130) DEBUTS NEW MORNING SHOW ON OCTOBER 10, 2005

The WISN Morning Buzz to feature talk radio veteran and “Talkstar” winner as co-hosts



Milwaukee - Irreverent. Edgy. Opinionated. Perfect words to describe the new morning drive program set to debut on News-Talk 1130 WISN. 

The WISN Morning Buzz will be unveiled on Monday October 10, 2005. The style of the show will be an on-air magazine, with the program being offered weekdays from 5:30am-8:30am.

The initial “buzz” surrounding The Buzz will no doubt center on the debut of Nicole Devin as the co-host of a regularly scheduled talk show. Devin was the winner of the contentious and 
closely-tracked “Milwaukee Talk Star” competition conducted this past summer.

Devin’s co-host on The Buzz will be radio veteran Dan Deibert, who has been hosting WISN’s morning drive program while “Talk Star” was being executed. In addition to his time behind the mic at WISN, Deibert has hosted talk shows in other Wisconsin radio markets.

The WISN Morning Buzz will go well beyond a mere opinion-based talk show. The pace will be robust, with the spotlight shining on guest interviews, caller-interactive topics, and recurring special features…as well as information elements such as news, weather, sports, and traffic. All show elements will be executed with a bold and aggressive tone.

More about the cast of The WISN Morning Buzz:

Dan Deibert spent five years hosting talk radio shows in Madison and Green Bay before coming to Milwaukee. Dan has been the host, on an interim basis, of WISN’s morning show since April ’05. Dan is also a nationally touring stand-up comic, and a current resident of Waukesha.

Nicole Devin was selected via Internet-based balloting as the winner of WISN Radio’s “Milwaukee Talk Star” competition. Nicole’s entertainment background centers around the stage…she has three year’s experience in Comedy Sportz, and also benefited from Improv Olympics training in Chicago. Nicole was awarded a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from 
UW-Milwaukee in 1997. She has been a resident of Southeastern Wisconsin since 1989.

Pat Crowley will handle the sportscast duties on The WISN Morning Buzz. Crowley is a former 
Division-III All-American defensive lineman at UW-Whitewater, and has spent 14-years coaching youth and high school football. An avid outdoorsman and motorcyclist, Crowley also participated in the “Milwaukee Talk Star” competition. Pat is a life-long Wisconsinite.

Jamie Larson works as an anchor/reporter in the News Department at WISN-AM. She will offer bottom-of-the-hour news updates during The WISN Morning Buzz. Jamie has spent the past several years working as a radio newswoman and personality.
