Maybe Just Stick to Old People Music KLOU

Poor David Freese. The Cardinals third baseman got over his issues, but KLOU, being the “oldies” station, loves to bring up stuff people would just rather forget. In fact, we’ve never understood why radio stations make their jocks come up with news stories to say in between songs and commercials, but they all do it and it’s always horrible. Usually the jocks stick with the lamest entertainment news possible: Kardashians, Britney Spears, something about the Twilight movies…but some, like KLOU’s Cindy Collins (2p – 7p) take the “just find some shit to talk about” job a little more seriously than others.

KLOU to Add Steph Duran For Afternoon Drive

103.3 KLOU is making the move back to more local on-air talent during the day after only having a local morning show, a slot recently vacated by Julie Buck. Which means there is actually a radio station looking for on-air talent, which is about as rare these days as a Cardinals victory or a leprechaun riding a unicorn that poops Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The sound you’re hearing is the thunder of out of work radio people running towards KLOU. The sound you aren’t hearing is anyone other than radio professionals giving a damn.

The first one in the gate at the new KLOU schedule? We hear it’s y98 and 101.1 Movin’ alum Steph Duran. Who is Steph Duran? …she was on the morning show for Movin’, everyone’s favorite…eh…ok, well there was Y98! Lots of people know her from Y98! No? Anyone that spends a lot of time in doctor’s waiting rooms at least…cancer patients and the like…alright, in all honesty if you are alive today you probably aren’t familiar with Duran, and if you do know her, then congrats on beating cancer! Of course, it’s a long shot, but you could be one of the 100 people in the “Please Bring Steph Duran back to St. Louis Radio!” club on Facebook. Anyway, our source says Duran has won the afternoon shift on 103.3 and with those 100 people on her side she should easily be the most popular radio show in St. Louis by about 37 people.

Of course that KLOU morning shift is still out there, but those of you on the beach should count on just staying there. We hear that the job is all but locked up. We don’t have firm enough sources to say a name right now, but after bringing Steph Duran in, they are set on a man for the morning show and seem to have one in their sights.
