AAA 94.9 The River in Boise, ID has reunited Kevin Murphy and Melissa Liebenthal for “River Mornings with Melissa and Kevin.” The duo previously hosted mornings on 107.1 K-Hits in the cluster. K-Hits is now Classic Country Hank-FM.
General Manager Nick Coe said when announcing the new show, “Reuniting Melissa and Kevin is a win for Boise radio. Their chemistry is undeniable, and bringing that energy to mornings on The River feels like the right move at the right time.”
The River PD Tim Johnstone added, “Having been a fan of Kevin’s work with Melissa as a morning show duo, I could not be more excited about him joining River Mornings here at the station. He’s a consummate pro with a quick wit, intimate knowledge of our community, and The River’s commitment to making a positive impact here in the Treasure Valley.”
“Kevin and I are back together,” Liebenthal said. “It’s like a reunion, but with less drama and more caffeine. Sincerely, he’s the best person I can think of to work with in tight quarters. He knows everything about me and likes me anyway.”
Murphy added, “I can’t believe I get to be on the station that’s been my No. 1 preset forever, and to do so with one of my best friends in radio and real life. Melissa and I have been making each other laugh for more than twenty years, so we might as well let River listeners in on the fun, too!”
