Nice reference leedog. Radio Rich Dalton was my fav FM deejay growing up. Great voice, killer stories. Wish I had his vinyl collection.
He’s still on KBDZ (93.1/101.7) based out of St Gen but with the acquisition of 101.7 now in St Chas county area. It’s him, Randy Railey, Katie Kruze, all there.
That's the best radio station in town but the signal sucks!!!
Yeah, I'm not getting any reception on it whatsoever at anytime.

You’re not just whistling Dixie there. KSHE is a shell of its former self. I call it KSHE 95-song playlist
That’s why I like KBDZ, they seem to be what KSHE used to be.

To answer 2112’s other questions,

I thought the nightly thing was KWK not KSHE, they used to call it “Rock Wars”

Ulett’s daytime thing was The Lunch Show, and yeah back in the day it was appointment listening

You are correct!

KWK was 106.5?

And WWWK was 1380?

I think they are in Pevely and St Chas with weak signals.

It's a shame.

Are you trying to listen to 93.1 or 101.7? I live out in Wentzville and can’t get 93.1 to save my life but 101.7 is clear as a bell

101.7 is located in St Gen as one of their major sponsors is Quiver River electric co-op or at least used to be.

I'm in Jeffco, once I get past Olive on 270 just forget getting signal.

Ken Wilson was always the best for the Blues imo (I'm in my 40's) but JK really grew on me over the years.
Obviously, you never heard JK's father broadcast a hockey game.
Did you miss the part when I mentioned my age?

If you’re down in Jeffco I’d think 93.1 would come in unless it’s just that bad of a signal

Nope, read your age. Doesn’t matter how old you are. I never heard Foster Hewitt, but I know he’s considered the best. He even has a NHL award named in his honor. You know, the one Hall of Fsme announcer, Dan Kelly, won before his death.

I'm around mid county and neither are good, but 93 is better than Wentzville

The epitome of the definition of "first class".

On the surface, this is a cost cutting move. And I do get the feeling of redundancy, so it makes sense from a business perspective.

I would guess that the decision was made to combine ... and from that call, you have to pick your team. Do you go younger (Kerber and Vitale) or go with JK and Jamie? If they opted with JK and Jamie - they would lose Kerber. He can go to any NHL franchise in a heartbeat - he's that good.

We don't know the entire story. As someone else posted, maybe JK wanted to start looking at a "Mike Shannon" deal where he only works home games. We just don't know.

All that being said, thank you John Kelly. I'm so happy that you were able to call Game Seven on the radio side - I'm sure your Dad was beaming!

(And Props to Kerber for making that happen!)
