On January 25, 2013, after running jockless for four months, WNRG hired its first airstaffer, Jeremy "Cousin Ed" Schultz, for afternoons, while Rowe took the 7 p.m.-Midnight slot until his exit from the station. They also added DJ Ekin for mix shows duties, airing at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. daily. WNRG began adding an airstaffer for the midday slot with the hiring of Taylor Vaughn in October 2013. Taylor left in January 2014 and was replaced by Ashley Z (who has also since left the station; Mandy Scott replaced her afterwards).
