Nik the Web Chick joins staff at 92.5 WXTU: ‘New Job…Who Dis?’

Former Real 106.1 host Nicole Michalik, aka Nik the Web Chick, is coming back to Philly radio next week, when she will make her debut as part of the on-air staff at coutnry station 92.5 WXTU.

Michalik announced her new position this week on Twitter, telling fans that she will take over the 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. time slot on weekdays at the Beasley Broadcast Group‎-owned station starting Feb. 25.

“New Job…Who Dis?” Michalik wrote online. “I’m beyond blessed that I not only get to stay in Philly, but also work for a legendary station…and have you see [sic] how hot the guys are in country music?”

Michalik heads to XTU from her former position at Real 106.1, which rebranded to 106.1 The Breeze in a format change in November. The change resulted in the ouster of the iHeartRadio station’s on-air staff, which at the time included not only Michalik, who hosted midday broadcasts, but also longtime radio personalities Chio Acosta and his cohost Shila Nathan.

A Drexel University alum, Michalik joined the staff at iHeartRadio’s group of station’s in 2000, according to her LinkedIn, and made a name for herself as Q102’s “Nik the Web Chick” and hosting B104’s “Nights.” She also cohosted and produced the popular Chio in the Morning program, and, in 2007, appeared as a contestant on NBC’s The Biggest Loser, where she was eliminated in week 13.

“To everyone who has supported me over the last few months…I am forever grateful,” Michalik wrote in a note on Instagram. “So great to be back!”
