Y98/St. Louis Revamps Mornings, Middays

Entercom Hot AC KYKY (Y98)/St. Louis announced a new morning and midday talent lineup — the Y98 morning show has relaunched as The Wake Up with Jen & Tim, hosted by (l-r): Jen Myers and Tim Convy, with contributions from Kevin “The Intern” Berghoff and Lance Hildebrand, weekdays from 5:30-10am CT. All four pros are talented cast members of the former Courtney & Company morning show — host Courtney Landrum exited in December, along with midday personality Jill Devine.

And speaking of middays… market veteran Julie Tristan has been named as Y98’s new 10am-2pm personality. Tristan (left) is an Emmy-nominated multimedia journalist who has nearly two decades of on-air experience in St. Louis radio and television. She’s also a professional photographer, owner of the video production company 8 Dogs Video and currently serves as a producer and announcer for Spotlight STL on KPLR-TV. Paul Cook remains in afternoon drive, and the station is running jockless from 7-midnight.

“From day one, Jen, Tim, Kevin and Lance have impressed me with their energy, passion and desire to learn and win, and they have elevated our morning show in a short time,” said Becky Domyan, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom St. Louis. “I’m equally excited about the addition of Julie Tristan to our weekday programming. She has an amazing track record of success in the market. She is an unstoppable talent, and her charitable contributions to the community have been tremendous as well. As the No. 1 creator of live and local audio content, our station aims to serve our community with content and information they rely on, and I’m looking forward to our revamped lineup driving the iconic Y98 to continued success.”

Tristan said, “I’m excited to continue my career in St. Louis, connecting with members of the community on a daily basis. I can’t wait to deliver upbeat content to our audience as they tune in during their workdays.”
