The move marks a K102 homecoming for Carr, who did afternoons there until 2008, when he left for WUBE.

"When I told my wife that we had an opportunity to move back home to Minnesota, I witnessed the brightest smile I have seen from her since our second child was born," said Carr. "We're all excited to reconnect with family, friends, lakes, ice skates and the awesome audience of K102! Plus, I get to do it with one of the most talented and genuine people on this planet, Maverick -- I’m excited for everyone to meet him!"

Current Wakeup Crew host Mike "Muss" Mussman will move to PM Drive and co-host Donna Valentine will take over evenings.

Current evening host Adam West will now focus on his afternoon show over on Classic Hits KQQL (Kool 108).
