• Audacy Hot AC KYKY (Y98)/St. Louis makes some major morning moves — the action begins with the arrival of major market veteran Bret Mega (left) as the station’s new morning co-host, teaming up with current Y98 midday personality Julie Tristan (center) on The Wake Up, weekdays from 5:30-10am CT. It was subsequently announced that longtime Y98 morning host Jen Myers (right) will move to middays and has been elevated to Assistant Brand Manager of Y98 and AC sister 102.5 KEZK. Both moves are effective May 3.

“We are thrilled to welcome Bret to Y98 and St. Louis,” said Becky Domyan, SVP/Market Manager, Audacy St. Louis. “Bret has an unparalleled positive energy and passion for our business that is truly contagious and will be a tremendous addition to The Wake Up team. We’re equally as excited to elevate Jen Myers after 16 years of success on the Y98 morning show. Her unwavering commitment to excellence will continue to yield outstanding results on both Y98 and KEZK. Her exceptional talent in the area of music and operations will be instrumental to growing both of these iconic brands in 2021 and beyond.”

Bret Mega’s career includes stops at KZDB/Spokane, WA, KWNW (Kiss FM)/Memphis, WWPW (Power 96.1)/Atlanta, and most recently, KLIF-FM (Hot 93.3)/Dallas. “I feel honored to be part of the historic Y98 brand and can’t wait to join The Wakeup team and do radio that makes a difference and feels like St. Louis,” Mega said. “I’d like to give a special thanks to Becky Domyan and Leo Baldwin for believing in me.”

Jen Myers has been with Y98 for 19 years, the past 16 on the morning show. She started her career in her hometown of Buffalo, NY and spent two years at KSTZ/Des Moines, IA before joining Y98. “I’m excited for this next chapter at Y98, and feel so lucky to have been at such a heritage station for almost two decades,” said Myers, adding, “I also can’t wait to finally sleep in.”
