Green Bay Radio: Morning Host Otis Day OUT At 95.9 KISS-FM

Otis Day, a well-known voice in northeastern Wisconsin radio for decades, is no longer with WKSZ 95.9 KISS-FM, with his departure following the filing of a temporary restraining order against him by competing morning host Natalie Jansen. The station announced Day's exit Thursday without providing a specific reason, but it comes two weeks after Jansen, a host at 101.1 WIXX, filed a 109-page petition alleging online bullying and harassment.

Jansen's petition states she has never met Day (whose legal name is Richard Dey) but alleges he communicated with and supported Emily Chagnon, who she claims created and operated a fake social media account called "Tiw's Day Hollaback XXIW." This account allegedly posted Jansen's previous addresses, over 50 photos of her minor child, and made repeated defamatory statements, causing Jansen to fear for her safety and alter her daily activities.

A Brown County Sheriff's investigation into the social media account linked Day to Chagnon, and the Sheriff's Office referred a charge of stalking as a party to a crime against Day to the District Attorney. While charges were not formally filed, Day received a letter from the DA's office stating his behavior was "clearly inappropriate" and "could potentially be interpreted as stalking." Temporary restraining orders against both Day and Chagnon were granted on March 23.

Day had joined KISS-FM in December 2023, returning to local radio after 24 years at WIXX-FM. His former co-hosts, Katie Schurk and Nick Vitrano, remain on the KISS-FM morning show, with Eddie stepping in as an interim host. Injunction hearings in both restraining order cases are scheduled for May 22.
