KDWB/Minneapolis Launches ‘Falen & Colt’
• iHeartMedia’s 101.3 KDWB/Minneapolis announced the launch of the new Falen and Colt Show, weekdays from 2-6pm, effective today. The new show pairs 12-year KDWB veteran Falen, and Colt, a KDWB veteran who returns to the Twin Cities from a stint with sister KHKS/Dallas.
Falen famously spent over a decade as a cast member of The Dave Ryan Morning Show until last August, when she moved to afternoons, paired with APD/MD Zach Dillon. In this new configuration, Dillon will transition across the hall to Modern AC KTCZ (Cities 97.1) as APD/afternoons, while retaining his KDWB APD/MD stripes.
“The debut of the new Falen and Colt Show brings a fresh dynamic to the Twin Cities’ airwaves,” said Greg Alexander, Market President of iHeartMedia Minneapolis. “With Falen’s 12 years of experience on 101.3 KDWB, and Colt’s enthusiasm for interacting with listeners, it’s clear they’ll bring a lot of energy and entertainment to the afternoon time slot.”
“As a Program Director, I’m always looking for the best ways to position our radio stations to entertain and deeply connect with our Twin Cities listeners,” said Rich Davis, PD of KDWB and Cities 97.1. “Colt, who worked for me in 2018 and 2019, wanted to come back, and I was looking for ways to capitalize on Zach Dillon’s success in the market too. Falen and Colt have a ton of chemistry from working and podcasting together back then. This is just the next step in the evolution of our afternoon show on KDWB and will help highlight the strengths of Falen, Colt, and Zach.”
Colt commented, “I appreciate all my time in Dallas — along with all the extraordinary coaching I received from Patrick Davis. I’m thrilled to be teaming up with the extremely talented Falen on the legendary KDWB, and I am beyond excited for this opportunity and to work with such a talented staff.”
