1110 KFAB afternoon host Emery Songer is departing the iHeartMedia Omaha news/talk station to focus on his efforts in middays at 1040 WHO in Des Moines.
Songer has helmed afternoons since June 2023. He joined 1110 KFAB after previously serving as the morning show producer at 1040 WHO for five years.
In a statement, 1110 KFAB Program Director Scott Voorhees shared that Songer won’t be completely gone from the station despite hosting his final show with the outlet last Friday.
“We at NewsRadio 1110 KFAB salute Emery Songer as he does what’s best for his personal and professional life in stepping away from his KFAB/Omaha show in the afternoon to focus on his morning show for our friends at WHO/Des Moines,” said Voorhees. “You will still hear him plenty on our radio station, hopefully for years to come, in various capacities.”
Voorhees alluded to a new host being named in the coming days, adding that details will be released this week.
The exit of Emery Songer marks the latest change for 1110 KFAB in recent months. Longtime morning host Gary Sadlemeyer retired in December, with Voorhees taking over morning drive.
In the Barrett Media Top 20 of 2025 series, Emery Songer earned 20th place in the Mid-Market News/Talk Radio Midday Show category for his work at 1040 WHO. He finished just outside the top 20 in the Mid-Market News/Talk Radio Afternoon Show category with his show on 1110 KFAB.

I will miss Emery Songer because he wasn’t hard core either way politically and fun to listen to.
