Audacy Hot AC “Y98” KYKY St. Louis has debuted a refreshed weekday lineup.
Julie Tristan moves from 1-4pm to 10am-3pm. She previously hosted the full midday show from February 2020 until she moved to mornings in March 2021. She will continue to also host mornings at AC 102.5 KEZK. Tristan originally joined KYKY in 2019 as a weekend/fill-in host after co-hosting mornings at iHeartMedia Classic Hits 103.3 KLOU from 2015-19. 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. Tristan has anchored mornings on KEZK since July 2023.
That move allows Jake Baumgartner to move from 10am-1pm to afternoons from 3-7pm. Baumgartner, who also serves as Assistant Brand Manager and Music Director of KYKY and KEZK, joined the station in 2021 after previously hosting nights at CHR “Now 96.3“ KNOU. Baumgartner fills the afternoon slot that had been held by the KZPT Kansas City based Ponch & Nikki until their exits in Audacy’s March cuts.
The Bret Mega Show remains in mornings.
