KGB Launches Mornings w/ Sarah, Boyer & Clint
• iHeartMedia Classic Rock 101.5 KGB/San Diego announces the impending launch of KGB Mornings with Sarah, Boyer and Clint, starting at 6am on Monday, Jan. 23. The new show will team longtime KGB-FM afternoon personality Clint August with two former members of the legendary DSC morning show, Sarah Beebe and Chris Boyer. This new morning show configuration follows the December retirement of longtime DSC hosts Dave Rickards and Cookie “Chainsaw” Randolph.
“It’s an honor to be a part of a heritage radio station like 101.5 KGB in any capacity, but the move to mornings is truly is a game-changer for me,” said August (right), a fixture in San Diego radio for the past 24 years. “Who wouldn’t want to goof around on a microphone with good friends like Sarah and Boyer? They encouraged me to go for this, so I’m forever grateful to them, my co-workers and to management for allowing me to be a part of this exciting new chapter. I can’t help but feel tremendous gratitude to the listeners over the past 12 years who’ve been so supportive.”
“Clint, in my mind was always on the back burner as a candidate only because I viewed him as the perfect afternoon drive host… Boy, was I wrong,” said Shauna Moran, Director of Rock Programming for iHeartMedia San Diego. “During the first audition on air with Sarah and Boyer I knew in my gut there was something really special there. It was seamless. Then, with overwhelming feedback from the listeners — many who were P1 DSC show listeners — it just sealed the deal. There was no denying he was the right person for the job.”
Noreen Ippolito, Market President, iHeartMedia San Diego, commented, “What a perfect transition for KGB to move Clint August into mornings alongside Sarah and Boyer. Our audience has spoken and we have listened. Clint is one of the great radio stories, having grown up in the radio business. He is a true San Diegan and has a heart for all members of the community, particularly for the military and our veterans. We look forward to this new morning trio waking up our friends in San Diego and beyond on the iHeartRadio app.”
