Fescoe's out at KFNS

Bob Fescoe has abruptly left KFNS (590 AM) to return to Kansas City, where he previously worked.

"I left 590 to be closer to family,'' he said. "My wife supported me for three years and with the birth of our daughter I felt it was time to move closer to our family. I appreciate everything (management) did for me and I thoroughly enjoyed working for KFNS."

Fescoe arrived in 2007 to replace Jim Hayes on KFNS' morning show but met an immediate roadblock. Tim McKernan, leader of the show, was upset by the firing of Hayes and earlier the loss of partner Martin Kilcoyne, and never was comfortable with Fescoe. McKernan eventually left for KSLG (1380 AM) and Fescoe was fired at the end of 2007, although he continued to do some part-time work before being rehired a few months later after Kevin Slaten was fired. Since then he worked with several hosts in afternoons, but the combos never clicked in the ratings.

Fescoe was opinionated and worked hard to learn the market, a place tough for outsiders to crack, so it's too bad he never had a strong pairing that meshed. He easily could have fared much better.

I've emailed some of the guys at 610 about how sucky Twibell is. I won't say which ones, but more than one have emailed me back basically saying they agree.

Twibell is pathetically boring.

The Mike & Mike Show is even better when Eric Kuselias is guest host. I may have to pony up for XM Radio so that I can listen to ESPN Radio all the time.

Dude, it's 10 bucks for just the I-net version and you can get it on your phone. No need to buy the hardware. Greatest thing to ever happen to my radio/phone.
