Hot AC Y98 St. Louis has revealed a new weekday on-air lineup.
Anchored by “The Bret Mega Show’ in morning drive, the new lineup includes a shift for Julie Tristan, moving from 1 to 4 pm to the 10 am to 3 pm midday slot.
She will continue to host mornings on cluster mate AC 102.5 KEZK, a position she has held since July 2023. Tristan arrived at Y98 after co-hosting mornings on Classic Hits 103.3 KLOU.
Jake Baumgartner will move from 10 am to 1 pm to afternoons from 3 to 7 pm. Baumgartner is also APD and MD for both Y98 and sister station 102.5 KEZK.
The afternoon show was previously hosted by “Ponch & Nikki” until they departed from their home station, 99.7 The Point in Kansas City. The duo was cut during Audacy company-wide layoffs last March.
