General Manager.
[e-mail Kristi]

Kristi was hired in late 2005 after Mort left. She is now the station manager, creating the playlists for the station and doing pretty much everything else to keep the station running. In addition to her radio work, she is head of the video department for the high school. She was hired because of her affinity for American Idol (a common topic in the WJHS studios). An avid motorcyclist, she owns a Road King Classic.

[e-mail Laurie]
|
A proud Fort Wayne Komets season ticket holder, Laurie has been with WJHS since 2003. Back then, she was a senior in high school and one of two night managers. These days, however, she's moved up in the world as the Music Director, which means she’s in charge of adding the new tunes you hear! In addition, she creates liners, sends e-mails to record companies and promoters, designs the website, and sleeps on the job (okay, not really). She’s majoring in English at IPFW in hopes of writing the Great American novel someday. Loves traveling, writing, showtunes, and “The Office” on NBC.
