KBEQ Lineup
Kansas City Briefs: Steel City KBEQ/Kansas City has revamped its lineup with former Townsquare KAWO/Boise Brand Mgr./afternoon host Kyle Matthews (CAT 2/25) taking over mornings. He is joined on The Morning Drive by sister Top 40 KMXV night host Mallory Kay, who had been guest hosting since the departures of Todd Nixon and Jenny Matthews earlier this year (CAT 2/10). Joe "Tater" Cavanagh, who hosted middays on the station before moving to Nashville last year (CAT 1/8/24), will contribute to the show as the "Nashville Insider." Matthews, who is also MD, can be reached here.
Taking over middays is promotions staffer Marissa Leggio, who joined KBEQ last year and previously interned at crosstown Union Sports WHB-AM. The shift hadn't had a permanent host since the departure of Cavanagh. Afternoons and nights remain unchanged with hosts Lydia "LT" Taylor and "Erika Jay" Hink respectively.
