Mike O’Reilly is stepping into mornings at Cumulus Kansas City’s Classic Hits 94.9 KCMO. The spot was recently vacated by 33-year KC radio veteran Kelly Urich who is retiring. O’Reilly joins current co-host Mackenzie on May 1.
O’Reilly has previous experience with Cumulus Kansas City as the Integrated Marketing & Digital Content Director for the seven-station group as well as Program Director for the cluster’s 95.7 The Vibe (KCHZ) and 105.1 The X (KCJK). Before his move to Kansas City, O’Reilly spent more than eight years as PD for 100.7 Jack FM (KFMB) in San Diego.
On the new move, O’Reilly remarked, “I could not be more excited to join my dear friend Mackenzie every morning on 94.9. Grateful to the Cumulus Media team for challenging me with this incredible opportunity. 94.9 fans, we’re going to have a whole lot of fun!”
Cumulus Kansas City RVP/Market Manager Donna Baker said, “Mike is the perfect fit at the perfect time. As one of the top-rated Classic Hits stations in the country, 94.9 will remain Kansas City’s favorite for years to come.”
