KMOX morning host Debbie Monterrey is celebrating a milestone Friday. The Total Information AM host has been with the St. Louis news/talk station for 20 years.
“Thank you so much for an amazing 20 years,” Audacy Senior Vice President Becky Domyan told Monterrey during an appearance Friday morning. “You are the voice of familiarity in St. Louis and we just really, really appreciate you.”
“It feels like yesterday and so, so long ago all at the same time,” joked Monterrey.
Monterrey joined KMOX after working as the Press Secretary for Wisconsin Governor Scott McCallum when she received a call asking “How would you like to do morning radio in St. Louis?”
In addition to her work at KMOX, she has also worked at stations in Greenville, South Carolina, Madison, Wisconsin, and Columbus, Ohio.
She’s been the recipient of five Edward R. Murrow Awards, while also winning two Missouri Broadcasting Awards during her tenure. In 2022, she was named Media Person of the Year by the St. Louis Press Club.
