Hubbard Classic Rock “KSHE 95” 94.7 KSHE Crestwood/St. Louis MO has announced the incoming arrival of Tim Virgin as afternoon host.
Virgin joins KSHE from the same role at Cumulus Media Classic Hits 94.7 WLS-FM Chicago where he has spent the past four years. Virgin has been with Cumulus Chicago since 2014 previously hosting afternoons at Classic Rock 97.9 WLUP and Alternative 101.1 WKQX. It marks a return to the St. Louis market as Virgin previously hosted nights at Rock/Alternative “105.7 The Point” KPNT from 1994-96. After an earlier run at WKQX/WLUP, Virgin has also spent time at WNEW and WXRK New York, KEDJ Phoenix, WHFS Annapolis MD, and KEGY San Diego.
Virgin commented, “I’m beyond thrilled to be joining Hubbard Radio-St. Louis and the legendary KSHE 95. Huge thanks to John Kijowski, Tommy Mattern, and Marty Linck for this incredible opportunity. KSHE is an institution in rock radio, and I can’t wait to be part of its amazing legacy. This is going to be an incredible adventure — I can’t wait to eat Imo’s pizza and play Ozzy again!”
Brand Manager Marty Linck said, “Tim Virgin is the perfect fit for KSHE 95. His energy is contagious, and he truly lives the rock-and-roll lifestyle. Plus, his familiarity with the St. Louis market means I don’t need to drive him all over town for a grand tour… which is nice.”
Virgin fills the afternoon opening created by Guy ‘Favazz’ Favazza’s exit last month after 33 years with KSHE.
KSHE has also announced it will add Superadio’s “Alice’s Attic” hosted by Alice Cooper for nights. Cooper’s show already airs on fellow Hubbard Classic Rockers WDRV Chicago and KSLX Phoenix.
Both shows debut on Monday, March 31.
