Kreen replaces  John Cline, Dave Cook and Maria D’Antonio, who departed last week.

Mr. Krenn has been a longtime fixture on the Pittsburgh airwaves, including a 24-year run on the WDVE 102.5 FM morning show that ended in 2010, Since then, Mr. Krenn launched his “No Restrictions” comedy podcast, has been a weekly regular on the KDKA-AM morning show and continues to do his stand-up appearances.
