Local Shows
The station aired a successful mornings program, hosted by George Woods, and an afternoon drive news program, hosted by Dan Roberts and Scott Mayman. The afternoon show proved popular and in its final survey beat the opposition KMBZ Drive show. Despite the popularity of the show, management canceled the program and brought in the syndicated conservative Sean Hannity.
Now, KCMO has only one local weekday talk program, the standard morning news and talk show. All other programs during the remaining 20 hours are rebroadcast from satellite. Ratings since the station dropped most local talk and news programming have suffered. The station, which used to be Kansas City's only talk radio station, usually appears near the lower end of the city's most listened to stations.

“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
