D-Lo & KC To PM Drive, KSFM/Sacramento

• Audacy Rhythmic KSFM/Sacramento announces D-Lo & KC as the new afternoon show, beginning August 14. Hosts Damien “D-Lo” Barling (left) and Kenny “KC” Caraway (right) will continue to anchor middays across the hall on sister KIFM-AM (ESPN 1320).

“Since launching their show over three years ago, D-Lo and KC have built an incredibly engaging program fueled by an extremely passionate audience,” said Stacey Kauffman, Regional Vice President, Audacy Sacramento. “We have no doubt this show’s rapid growth will be a welcomed addition to KSFM’s afternoon drive.”

Barling’s radio career launched in 2001 with an internship at KSFM. That turned into a part-time/fill-in host role, and, in January of 2005, D-Lo became part of a morning show that would enjoy huge ratings success over the next several years. In 2009, Bartling launched a sports management company that oversaw the career of several WNBA athletes. He returned to Sacramento radio in 2014 and, in April 2016, he headed up the launch of The Lo-Down, which enjoyed ratings success. A native of Sacramento, Caraway attended Cal State East Bay, which opened the gateway to his current career as a podcaster, FM sports radio personality, podcast/radio producer and co-host of The Athletic’s Sacramento Kings podcast.

D-Lo and KC teamed up for the first time on August 17, 2020. Still at the height of the pandemic, the two built their chemistry from their separate home studios through video conferencing. Less than six months in, the show expanded from two hours to its current four-hour format. “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to join KSFM and bring our passion for music and the culture to that heritage brand,” said D-Lo & KC. “We’re very thankful for the vision [PD] Complex, [OM] Aaron [Roberts] and Stacey share with us.”
