Kris Kosach is an American television host and radio personality, producer, and writer. She is best known for her work as one of the first VJs on MTV2[1] and as a Music Host for TechTV. She has also hosted multiple shows for Travel Channel.

Career

Kosach began her career in radio, working at Alternative Rock stations before being recruited as one of the first

VJs to launch the all-music network MTV2
, then known simply as M2. Kosach hosted daily sample blocks of M2's eclectic playlists on parent network MTV and was the face of Viacom's first Live Stream.

Following MTV, Kosach Hosted the music technology series AudioFile for

Emmy
Award.

Owing to her background in radio, Kosach repurposed AudioFile's artist interviews to create a stand-alone audio series called "AudioFile AirWav". The program was intended for radio syndication, but at the dawn of the iTunes platform, it was instead uploaded there. Today, "AudioFile AirWav" is regarded as one of the first music podcasts. Before leaving TechTV, Kosach was named the network's Entertainment Reporter where she contributed stories to ABC News and CNN.

In 2004, Kosach hosted Travel Gear for Travel Channel where she reviewed recreational gear and consumer electronics while participating in extreme sports: skydiving, caving, and flying fighter jets among others. Concurrently, Kosach created the first blog for Discovery. In 2016 Kosach returned to her roots presenting music at radio stations while also producing podcasts. She currently lives with her family in Los Angeles.

Personal life

Kosach is married to television executive Alex Wellen.[2]
