Kyle Matthews To Join KBEQ/Kansas City As MD
Q Score: Townsquare KAWO/Boise Brand Mgr./afternoon host Kyle Matthews is departing Friday (2/28) to join SteelCity KBEQ/Kansas City as MD, effective April 7. He will also do a yet-to-be-determined air shift at KBEQ, which has had a morning vacancy since the departures of Jenny Matthews (CAT 2/10) and PD/morning co-host Todd Nixon (CAT 12/27/24). Steel City MM Marc Harrell says Matthews' "talent, industry knowledge and deep passion for country music make him the perfect addition to our on-air team.” Matthews joined KAWO in 2022 from the KFGE/Lincoln, NE APD/MD/midday host position (CAT 8/8/22). His prior stops include an earlier stint at KFGE and KFRG/Riverside. Reach him here. No word on plans for the Boise position.
