Brian McFayden Wakes Up In Denver
• Bonneville Country 98.5 KYGO/Denver welcomes Brian McFayden as the station’s new morning co-host alongside current host Tracy Dixon, starting Monday, December 7.
If his name and face look familiar, that’s because McFayden, whose radio career started at KXXR (93.7 The Edge)/Minneapolis and the late WXRK (92.3 K-Rock)/New York has been a regular fixture on your TV for quite some time — he spent some quality years at MTV, hosting TRL and anchoring MTV News. In addition to several acting gigs, McFayden also hosted and produced for Al Gore‘s Current TV, a web series called 7 Wonders of the Wall for MSN and Campus Insiders. Most recently, McFayden anchored sports for HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meadeand Bleacher Report segments for CNN, CNN International and HLN. Before the pandemic, he was also working on a film with director Ron Krauss.
“I’m beyond excited to not only be doing mornings for those legendary KYGO call letters and arguably the greatest Country station ever,” McFayden said, “but I also get to be on the air with my friend, the amazingly talented Tracy Dixon. I’m a lucky man.” PD Brian Michel commented, “I’m thrilled to have Brian join KYGO. As a country boy from Nebraska, it only makes sense that he would return to his radio roots at the biggest brand in Country radio and join his longtime friend, Tracy Dixon, on the KYGO Morning Show.”
Tracy Dixon said, “Brian is an incredible and rare talent in this business. He’s one of the most natural and creative personalities I’ve ever met. We’ve known each other for years and it’s quite literally a dream come true to have Brian as a partner.” The new KYGO Morning Show with Tracy & Brian officially debuts on Monday, December 7.
