Kyle Matthews is Bidding Farewell to KBEQ: A New Adventure Awaits
In a surprising turn of events, Kyle Matthews, who joined KBEQ Kansas City just eight months ago, is set to bid farewell to the station. Matthews, who took on the role of Music Director and joined the morning show alongside Mallory Kay in April, has decided to relocate to St. Louis with his family.
"This move is a family decision, one that just feels right for us," Matthews shared in a heartfelt post. "To my Q104 family, thank you for every laugh, memory, and opportunity. You’ve made this chapter unforgettable. My last day will be October 24th. And since it wouldn’t be a big move without a new adventure, I’m officially on the lookout for my next role. If you know of a great fit, I’d love to connect! We’re grateful, hopeful, and ready for whatever’s next."
Before joining KBEQ, Matthews had an impressive career in the radio industry. He served as Brand Manager/afternoon host at Townsquare Media’s "Wow Country 104.3" KAWO Boise, and previously worked at NRG Media Country "Froggy 98.1" KFGE Lincoln NE from 2016 to 2018 and 2019 until 2022. In between, he spent ten months as Imaging Director and midday host at Audacy’s "95.1 K-Frog" KFRG Riverside CA.
Matthews' departure from KBEQ comes as a surprise to many, as he had quickly become a beloved member of the station's team. His outgoing personality and engaging on-air presence had made him a favorite among listeners. As he embarks on this new adventure, the radio industry will undoubtedly miss his talent and dedication.
The question remains: What exciting opportunities await Matthews in his next role? The industry eagerly awaits the announcement of his new adventure, and we wish him all the best in this exciting new chapter of his life.
