Casey Hendrickson started his talk radio career at CBS-owned AM 840 KXNT in Las Vegas, Nevada. During a nearly six year span, he became a number-one rated news/talk show host. After leaving KXNT, Casey joined Fox News Radio KDOX for a brief time until he and his wife got the itch to leave Las Vegas behind for the friendly midwest. Newcomers to the region, they are spending their first few months establishing a home and exploring the area. Casey officially took over as host of Michiana's Morning News on-air on September 12, 2011.

Annette Weston anchors your morning news. She has a 20 year track record of journalism success – and dozens of awards to show for it.  She was born and raised in southwest Michigan, and is currently raising four teenagers  – and anxiously awaiting the return of her sanity.  She’s witty and funny….sometimes a little close to the edge. Her favorite interviews over the years: William “The Refrigerator” Perry, because he was so sweet for a big football dude, and Stevie Nicks, because Annette is a big Fleetwood Mac fan, though most of the interview was less-than-coherent.  Tornadoes, blizzards, accidents, fires…bring them on. 

Craig Williams, aka "The Bartender" has been serving up sports on 95.3 longer than we've been known as "Michiana's News Channel." If you're wondering why we call him "The Bartender," well... it's because he is a bona-fide bartender.  When Craig isn't behind the microphone, he's behind the bar... Roc's in Mishawaka and Gino's East at Heritage Square, just to name a couple. Craig also hosts "Blue and Gold Preview" Saturday mornings at 10:00am on 95.7 WAOR. You can also here him spin South Bend's favorite classic rock on AOR, as well. 

Carl Stutsman anchors news during Rush Limbaugh and gathers stories straight from the streets of Michiana. He is an Elkhart native, a graduate of Concord High School and is finishing his upper education at IUSB. Carl has led live storm coverage, reported on extensive damage in the aftermath of the storms and helped lead coverage of the effort to ban “K2” sales from area stores. Some of his favorite moments are reporting live, in-the-field, whether from the county fair, or a local protest on illegal immigration. Carl says the best part of his job is meeting people, learning their stories, and bringing them to life, on-air.     

Kayla Blakeslee is a recent graduate of Penn State University. Majoring in Journalism and Mass Communications, Kayla enjoyed anchoring and reporting for The University's student-produced  "Centre County Report." After graduation, the multi-media reporting dynamo caught the attention of Federated Media, anchoring news for 95.3 MNC's sister station, WOWO-AM in Fort Wayne, and filing stories for both WOWO and 95.3 MNC. Kayla loves the daily excitement of news reporting, and hopefully, making a difference with her audience.

Heather Bureau is a recent graduate of The University Of Florida where she studied broadcast journalism. Heather has lived in Florida for the last decade but is excited about her new home in the midwest, although she's heard crazy stories about the weather (and, as we already know, they are all true.) As a news reporter, Heather hopes to bring you the urgent and compelling stories you care about. You can hear her reports during Michiana's Morning News w/Casey Hendrickson and throughout the entire day on News/Talk 95.3 Michiana's News Channel.

 Gerry Dick is editor/anchor of Inside INdiana Business, heard weekdays at 7:25am during Michiana's Morning News. He is a native Hoosier and a graduate of Indiana State University. He is a member of the board of directors of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and Junior Achievement of Central Indiana. Dick's broadcast news background includes stints in Fort Wayne, Terre Haute and 14 years as a reporter and anchor at WRTV-TV in Indianapolis. While there, Gerry covered business and economic development-related stories and reported on issues facing communities throughout Indiana and neighboring states.
