Y98 St. Louis Sets New Lineup And Rebrands Morning Show

Entercom Hot AC “Y98” 98.1 KYKY St. Louis has announced a new on-air lineup and name for its morning show.

What had most recently been just the “Y98 Morning Show” is now “The Wake Up with Jen & Tim” as Jen Myers and Tim Convy take lead roles, while Kevin Berghoff and Lance Hildebrand remain as contributors. The show had been “Courtney & Company” until the exits of Courtney Landrum and midday host Jill Devine in early December.

Julie Tristan will move from weekends/fill-in to midday host. Tristan co-hosted mornings at iHeartMedia Classic Hits 103.3 KLOU from 2015 until last March. She also was part of the Steve & DC Show at 101.1 WVRV in the mid 2000s and was a host and anchor at KSDK-TV from 2007-2015.

Paul Cook will remain in afternoons and the station will continue to be jockless in evenings and overnights.

Entercom, a leading media and entertainment company and one of the two largest radio broadcasters in the U.S., announced a new weekday programming lineup for Y98 (KYKY-FM), St. Louis’ only hot adult contemporary station, effective immediately. The station’s morning show will relaunch as “The Wake Up with Jen & Tim,” hosted by Jen Myers and Tim Convy, with contributions from Kevin Berghoff and Lance Hildebrand. “The Wake Up with Jen & Tim” will air weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. CT.

In addition to the morning show, the station promoted Julie Tristan to host of the midday show. Tristan will be heard weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. On-air host Paul Cook will continue hosting Y98’s afternoon drive.

“From day one, Jen, Tim, Kevin and Lance have impressed me with their energy, passion and desire to learn and win, and they have elevated our morning show in a short time,” said Becky Domyan, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom St. Louis. “I’m equally excited about the addition of Julie Tristan to our weekday programming. She has an amazing track record of success in the market. She is an unstoppable talent, and her charitable contributions to the community have been tremendous as well. As the No. 1 creator of live and local audio content, our station aims to serve our community with content and information they rely on, and I’m looking forward to our revamped lineup driving the iconic Y98 to continued success.”

“I’m excited to continue my career in St. Louis, connecting with members of the community on a daily basis,” said Tristan. “I can’t wait to deliver upbeat content to our audience as they tune in during their workdays.”
