The new weekday on-air lineup that launched Monday on KCMO FM 103.7 and AM 710 in Kansas City includes Tom Becka from 10 a.m. to Noon. The talk radio veteran has built a solid reputation over the last 20 years as one of the top radio talk show hosts in the nation. Becka returns to Kansas City having worked at one time for KMBZ. Most recently, he hosted shows on Omaha talk radio stations KOIL and KFAB.
Back to the KCMO changes. Mike Ferguson moves to the 12 Noon-1 p.m. slot, followed by Dave Ramsey Live from 1-4 p.m. and Michael Savage from 4-6 p.m. Donna Baker, Midwest Regional Vice-President and Market Manager, Cumulus Media-Kansas City, said: “KCMO Talk Radio takes an exciting step forward today. Welcoming Becka back to KC, Mike Ferguson continuing local community conversations over the lunch hour, and Dave Ramsey returning to three hours in the afternoon are powerful additions to our talented lineup.”
Lance Tidwell, Operations Manager, Cumulus Media-Kansas City, said: “I’m really excited to work with Tom Becka. Tom is a truly entertaining talk show host with history in Kansas City, and the perfect fit for our local lineup with Rob Carson and Mike Ferguson.”
Becka said: “I’m thrilled to be coming back to Kansas City radio. There is a great of energy in town with lots to talk about. I can’t wait!”
Too bad about dropping Phil Valentine. He was our favorite talk show host
