Entercom Hot AC “Y98” 98.1 KYKY St. Louis has rebranded its morning show as “Courtney and Company” as the station has signed Courtney Landrum to a multi-year contract extension to become lead host and only female fronted morning show in the market.
Landrum has been part of the KYKY morning show since 1999 as producer and co-host of “The Phillips & Company Show” and previously worked as a producer on the “Steve & DC” show. Her elevation follows Guy Phillips’ exit last November after 38 years in mornings.
Jen Myers, Kevin ‘The Intern’ Berghoff and Lance Hildebrand will remain in place as co-hosts.
Entercom, the #1 creator of live, original, local audio content in the United States, today announced a new multi-year contract agreement with Courtney Landrum to remain on Entercom’s Y98 (KYKY-FM). It was also announced that the St. Louis station’s highly rated morning show changed its name to “Courtney and Company.” The move makes the radio show the only one in the city to be named after a female host. Y98 personalities Jen Myers, Kevin “The Intern” Berghoff and Lance Hildebrand will remain on the show which airs weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
“Courtney has always been a lead voice on the morning show and shines due to her hard work, wit and dedication,” said John Sheehan, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom St Louis. “She is an icon in the St. Louis community and we are thrilled to have her on board to engage our morning listeners with her wonderful energy.”
“I’m thrilled to start this new chapter of my career with Entercom and to carry the torch,” said Courtney. “After being a part of different morning shows in the local St. Louis community for the past 25 years, I’m happy and humbled to have the opportunity to continue entertaining our audience each weekday morning on Y98.”
Courtney began her professional career as producer for “The Steve and DC Morning Show” in St. Louis in the early 1990s. She joined Y98 in 1999 as producer and co-host of “The Phillips and Company Morning Show,” and has been with the morning show ever since. Courtney is one of the most coveted event emcees in the St Louis area and proudly supports local arms of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and The American Parkinson’s Disease Foundation.
