Tom Krasniqi is staying put in Tampa Bay afternoons. The 95.7 WDAE host has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with iHeartMedia.
What We Know: Krasniqi hosts The Drive with Tom Krasniqi weekdays from 2–6 p.m. on 95.7 FM and 620 AM. He joined WDAE in 2012, and he co-hosted Ronnie & TKras with Ronnie Lane for nearly a decade. After that show ended in March 2024, Krasniqi remained in afternoon drive with his own program. Additionally, he signed a previous multi-year extension with the station in November 2023.
What They Said: Tom Krasniqi: “Done deal! So incredibly grateful to all of you for your unwavering support! Love you guys! So blessed!”
What Remains Unclear: iHeartMedia has not disclosed the exact length or financial terms of the new deal. Additionally, it remains to be seen if Ronnie Lane will also find an extension with the station as he and Krasniqi were announced with extensions back in 2023.
What It Means: Ultimately, the extension gives WDAE stability in one of its most important dayparts. Moreover, it follows a busy stretch that included the station’s move to a 100,000-watt FM signal. Krasniqi now anchors a lineup featuring The Pat & Aaron Show in mornings and Nick Wize in middays. As a result, Tampa Bay sports fans will keep a familiar voice on their afternoon commute.
