93.7 The Ticket in Lincoln, NE is making changes to its weekday programming lineup. Program Director John Gaskins, who has been with the radio station since it launched in 2011, and was hosting middays alongside Tom Stephens, is leaving to return home to Sioux Falls, SD where he’ll work for KWSN.
To fill Gaskins’ void, The Ticket will turn to Connor Happer. Happer, had been one half of “The Morning Take” with on-air partner Jake Sorensen. His new partnership with Stephens will result in the program being re-branded as “Happer and Stephens”. The show will air weekdays from 11a-2p CT.
With Happer moving to middays, “The Morning Take” will also undergo an adjustment. PD John Gaskins says an announcement about the morning show is forthcoming, but he wanted to allow each show to enjoy their own day in the sun.
