Misc Fescoe coming back to KC

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.

Not sure where they'd put him. Too bad for him he thought he was better than he was. Would really suck to leave town for the bigger market and have to come back home with your tail between your legs to work for the B Team (610).

Hey he could replace Jack Harry.

GoHuge · 12-25-2009, 08:35 PM

Isn't that old bastard only on once a week? I wouldn't be able to stand Fescoe for much more. He's 610 material. Actually he'd be an upgrade to their lineup. Couldn't make them any worse.

He'll never be able to match the electrifying personality and razor sharp wit of Roger Twibell.
