Mundo was previously a New York City-based On-Air Host/Anchor for Fox News Radio, CBS Sports Radio, Sports Illustrated’s daily platforms, and WFAN Sports Radio.
Donna Baker, Regional Vice President and Market Manager, Cumulus Kansas City, said: “One of the most fulfilling rewards as a leader is seeing the impact that someone as talented as Pete can make in just two years.

This well-deserved promotion to Program Director is an opportunity to continue to expand the brand of KCMO Talk Radio for years to come.”
Mundo commented: “My time in Kansas City has not just met, but exceeded expectations both professionally and personally. I’m grateful to Donna Baker, Mike Wheeler, Bill Hess and Doug Hamand for all of their support through these past two years. I’m proud that the morning show has become a destination for Kansas City-area politicos and I’m thrilled to be able to continue to bring a fresh and unique perspective to the rapidly-moving news cycles in Missouri, Kansas and Washington D.C.”
