Wichita Radio: Harris, Cassidy To Host AM On New KKGQ

Tracy Cassidy and Brett Harris

Envision Broadcast Network will be launching off their new format on KKGQ 92.3 FM Monday, January 5, 2015.

Dynamic radio duo Brett Harris and Tracy Cassidy, formerly of crosstown KRBB,  will reunite to debut the new station as hosts of its morning show.

Heather Hogan, Envision’s Vice President of Foundation and Mission Services, announced plans for the future format and content for the station, which will serve as a source of entertainment for audiences, a medium of communication for Envision and other causes and organizations, revenues to support Envision’s programs and services, and employment for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

Envision Broadcast Network is operating the for-profit station, which used to be KFTI.

“We are delighted to be reuniting Brett and Tracy in our first official move with 92 FM,” Hogan said.

“Wichita has been waking up to Brett and Tracy for more than 22 years, and we look forward to bringing them back to the airwaves for the community to enjoy.”

Harris and Cassidy have a long history of involvement with Envision. They have both received the organization’s “Excellence in Volunteerism” award and have participated in benefit concerts, committee involvement and internal events.

The two are thrilled to be an official part of the Envision team. “To have a non-profit agency with which we’ve been passionately involved for years approach us about reuniting on the radio is incredibly humbling and exciting,” says Harris.

“We’re absolutely energized. Local radio is not only a terrific investment for a non-profit, but what a way to spread the mission by training kids who are visually impaired to become on-air talent." Cassidy says working with individuals who are visually impaired has been tightly woven into her radio career since even before she began collaborating on projects with Envision.

The pair started working together on KRBB 97.9-FM in 1990. Harris was fired from the iHeartMedia station in 2012. Cassidy lost her job in May 2014.
