NewsTalk 1130 WISN in Milwaukee is refreshing its weekday lineup starting Friday, January 2, 2026, to build on the station's strong momentum and deliver trusted local talk programming.
The key change: Longtime midday host Benjamin Yount moves to morning drive (6-9 a.m.), succeeding longtime host Jay Weber, who is stepping away from daily mornings at the end of December to launch a twice-weekly iHeartPodcast in 2026 while continuing as a contributor to WISN and iHeartMedia.

Filling the 9-11 a.m. midday slot is Jason Goch, who will also anchor news during Yount's morning show. Goch brings over 20 years of experience in spoken-word radio, including sports talk and general interest programming, and has previously served as a guest host on WISN.
“WISN is one of the most respected talk stations in the country, and I’m thrilled to join the lineup,” Goch said. “Midday is a great opportunity to connect with listeners on the issues that matter most, and I’m excited to contribute both on the air and in supporting WISN’s live, local mornings.”
Program Director Jerry Bott described the moves as strategic: “This lineup builds on WISN’s momentum and reflects our focus on serving listeners with strong, credible voices throughout the day. Benjamin has earned the trust of our audience and brings proven ratings success to morning drive, while Jason is a terrific addition whose experience and versatility strengthen our local programming bench.”
The rest of WISN’s weekday schedule remains unchanged. This adjustment follows Weber’s transition from his 18-year run in mornings (and 35+ years with the station overall), positioning Yount—a familiar and trusted voice—as the new morning anchor to maintain continuity for listeners.
