Last week, 93.7 The Ticket in Lincoln announced that Connor Happer was moving out of mornings, and into middays to join Tom Stephens. The vacancy was created due to Program Director and midday host John Gaskins leaving the radio station for a new opportunity in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with KWSN.
With Happer shifting to middays, an opening existed on the morning show. The Ticket had a plan in place but wanted to strategically announce the decision independent of their midday news and today those plans were revealed.
Steven M. Sipple has signed on to join the radio station, and lead host Jake Sorensen in morning drive. Sipple is known locally for his work as a columnist with the Lincoln Journal Star. Sorensen shared the news on Twitter.
An announcement about the official name of the morning show will be announced next week.
