https://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2021/03/kmox-200x200.pngFollowing the retirement (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/222155/charlie-brennan-to-retire-from-kmox/) of longtime 830-11am host Charlie Brennan earlier this month, Audacy News/Talk 1120 KMOX/98.7 K254CR St. Louis has revamped its entire weekday lineup effective May 31.
The station’s “Total Information AM” morning news block will be expanded from 5-830am to 5-10am. Current anchors Debbie Monterrey and Tom Ackerman will continue in the 5-8am block along with investigative reporter Megan Lynch. Ackerman will then anchor from 8-10am with Carol Daniel, who moves from the now defunct 12-3pm “St. Louis Talks” show.
Brennan’s former co-host Amy Marxkors will be joined for a new 10am to 2pm show by current “Sports Open Line” and St. Louis Cardinals pre and post-game host Kevin Wheeler and part-time host Chris Rongey for “The Show”. Rongey also comes from a Sports background where he previously spent a decade as pre and post-game host for the Chicago White Sox, as a host for WSCR Chicago, and four years co-hosting afternoons at “101 ESPN (https://www.101espn.com)” WXOS St. Louis.
Dave Glover will remain in the 2-6pm timeslot. The station is searching for a new host (https://careers-audacy.icims.com/jobs/4429/sports-anchor-reporter/job) for the evening sports programming, who will also take the role on the Cardinals pre and post-game shows.
With the lineup change, “St. Louis Talks” co-host Ryan Wrecker (https://twitter.com/RyanWrecker/status/1529100319036153858) departs the station. Wrecker joined KMOX in 2017 as overnight and then evening host before moving to the 12-3pm show (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/207454/kmox-adds-three-person-st-louis-talks-in-limbaugh-timeslot/) to replace Rush Limbaugh in April 2021. He previously served as Program Director at 1190 WOWO Fort Wayne IN. Unknown is the status of the third co-host Bo Matthews. Matthews previously hosted mornings and afternoons at Country 92.3 WIL St. Louis before joining the midday show and had been at KMOX as a fill-in host since 2019.
Audacy has announced a revamped weekday lineup for News Radio 1120 AM and 98.7 FM KMOX – the voice of St. Louis and the flagship station of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Beginning May 31, the station will expand its morning show “Total Information AM” to 10:00 a.m. CT, bolstered by co-anchors Carol Daniel, who returns to the newsroom and Megan Lynch, investigative reporter. Together with Debbie Monterrey and Tom Ackerman, they will deliver the news, traffic and weather listeners depend on, including analysis, in-depth interviews and open conversation.
Additionally, the station will debut a new midday show following the retirement of longtime on-air host Charlie Brennan. “The Show” will team up on-air hosts Amy Marxkors, Kevin Wheeler and Chris Rongey, and air weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. CT, effective May 31. Wheeler transitions from host of “Sports Open Line” and Cardinals baseball pregame and postgame host, while Rongey expands his part time role. The station will immediately begin a search for a new host of “Sports Open Line” and Cardinals pregame and postgame programming.
“This series of updates underscores our overarching commitment to delivering news and balanced talk shows to the people of St. Louis, while accentuating the strength of our top-level hosts,” said Becky Domyan, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy St. Louis. “From our award-winning morning show to our unrivaled coverage of the Cardinals, we want to elevate the conversation.”
