KFRU 1400 AM and 98.9 FM in Columbia, Missouri is set to debut a new afternoon show called Columbia Today.
The new program — which will air weekdays from 4:00-6:00 PM — will be hosted by former Missouri State Representative Ted Farnen.
“For nearly 100 years, KFRU has been Columbia’s best source for news and entertainment, and the station has a deep commitment to keeping the public informed, The debut of ‘Columbia Today’ and the recent investments by Cumulus Media in studio renovations and the news department demonstrate that KFRU will continue to be an important voice in Columbia’s conversations,” said Farnen.
“This will be a fun and informative show with a heavy concentration on local issues and guests. It will be a program to which everyone will be welcome, and it will complement the outstanding local programming KFRU already provides.”
Farnen has lived in the Columbia area for over 30 years. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri’s prestigious School of Journalism.
“We are thrilled to have Ted join our team,” KFRU Program Director Luke Swezy said. “He brings a valuable and informed perspective on local issues that will strengthen our programming.”
“We are excited to have Ted join our KFRU line-up in the afternoons. He brings experience and a local perspective that we believe will resonate well with the listeners of KFRU,” added Cumulus Columbia Vice President and Market Manager Greg Renoe.
Columbia Today will debut on Monday, July 17th.
