A year after KROQ owner Entercom shocked the radio biz by yanking the station’s morning program, “Kevin in the Morning with Allie & Jensen” (the successor program to three-decade staple “Kevin & Bean”), host Kevin Ryder is prepping a return to the Los Angeles airwaves.
Ryder announced this morning that he’ll be joining Doug “Sluggo” Roberts to co-host the afternoon drive shift on crosstown rival KLOS, owned by Meruelo Media, starting this Thursday. The daily 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. shift will be in addition to the new daily show he launched last month with Mike Catherwood, “Great News! With Kevin & Mike,” which will continue to be produced weekdays as both a YouTube video and podcast.

Former 'Kevin & Bean' Co-Host to Lead New Afternoon Drive Show
MERUELO MEDIA Classic Rock KLOS/LOS ANGELES has announced that legendary co-host of the longtime KROQ/LOS ANGELES “KEVIN & BEAN SHOW," KEVIN RYDER, is joining the KLOS team to host a new afternoon show, “KEVIN & SLUGGO” featuring current KLOS personality SLUGGO debuting this THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18th at 3p (PT).
After 30 years as co-host of “KEVIN & BEAN SHOW," RYDER said, “I’m happy KLOS has lowered their standards just enough for me to slip in. Everyone at the station, starting with HEIDI AND FRANK in the morning, are having fun, and love the music they’re playing. I’m happy to be working in the afternoon, with my longtime friend SLUGGO, because one of us needs to be able to use the English language sufficiently. Plus, I need my beauty sleep to remain at the top of the modeling game. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with listeners and having fun on the air in L.A. again!"
