Meredith In Motion
Dunkel caught the radio bug while attending Southern Illinois University, working at WCIL/Carbondale, IL. She later went on to do weekends/swing at WLUM/Milwaukee and WTMX/Chicago, then co-hosted mornings on KQBT/Austin, KZPT (104-1 The Point)/Tucson, KSTP (KS95)/Minneapolis-St. Paul and KKFR/Phoenix. Rivers added, “Her unique behind-the-scenes experiences include working for the Oprah Winfrey Show, producing and performing on KTMY/Minneapolis (the model for Talk Radio targeted to Women) and writing for the Nineball Radio Network’s daily prep service.”
Rivers later told RAMP, “Meredith was on our sister Hot AC station, KZPT (104-1 The Point) for a brief encounter in 2004. She maintained relationships with several people in the building. Everyone who knows her gives her high marks. She pegs both the cultural and performance meters.”
