Steven St. John, host of New Day with SSJ, was named Media Mix’s Kansas City Radio Host of the Year.
“Sports Radio 810 WHB is more than just a radio station – it’s a community,” said Boeger. “We are owned by Kansas Citians, for Kansas Citians, and we remain dedicated to delivering the very best in sports coverage to our listeners and viewers as we truly are powered by fans.”
WHB, established in 1922, is renowned for its rich broadcasting history, including the invention of the Top 40 format, pioneering the talk radio format, hosting The Beatles’ only concert in Kansas City, and now providing nationally awarded local sports talk with comprehensive coverage of the back-to-back World Champion Kansas City Chiefs and all teams in Kansas City and surrounding areas.
