Forge Lucas:
Former iHeartMedia Top 40 KDWB/Minneapolis APD/afternoon personality Lucas Phelan has joined CBS Radio's crosstown KMNB as APD/afternoons. He succeeds Kris Valentine, who left the station in June (CAT 6/8). Concurrently, middayer Tricia "TJ" Jenkins has added MD duties. "He's a perfect fit for this fun, hardworking radio family," says OM/PD Lauren MacLeash. "Lucas has an incredible following and we welcome him and his fans to the Country side!" Phelan spent 11 years at KDWB, exiting in April. Prior stops include Omaha and Kansas City.
