O'Meara To 105.9, Paired With McEwen For Mornings - 7/3 -   DCRTV broke the news Friday! Updated. Washington radio veteran Mike O'Meara (right) will be joining Citadel classic rocker 105.9 The Edge, WVRX, for mornings. He'll be partnered with another local radio veteran, Kirk McEwen (left), who currently does afternoons at the station. The show will debut on July 7 and run from 5 AM to 9 AM daily.
"For the first time in my career, my favorite music will be on the same
station with my favorite personality, me," said O'Meara in a Citadel announcement, released late Friday afternoon. Joining McEwen and O'Meara is DC and Baltimore veteran radio producer Jeff
Shamrock. It'll be called "The Kirk McEwen And Mike O'Meara Morning Show." Says Kenny King, operations manager of 105.9: "Kirk and Mike are two extremely popular radio personalities that each have an incredible
DC and Baltimore fan base, and it's so exciting to be able to put them together on the Edge." O'Meara had been heard on CBS's WJFK until last summer, when the station flipped from guy talk to sports talk. In December 2009, O'Meara launched an internet-based podcast. At the time, DCRTV reported that he was in-line for the morning slot at 105.9, but the station's owner, Citadel, was entering several months of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and was not hiring. We're hearing that O'Meara's longtime radio partners, Buzz Burbank and Robb Spewak, will not be regulars on the new 105.9 morning show. However, we hear that O'Meara will continue his podcast with Buzz and Robb. According to O'Meara's podcast business manager, Marc Ronick: "The (105.9) morning show will not affect or interfere with the podcast, KCJJ Iowa, or any of our future affiliates. This is a wonderful opportunity for all involved and we look forward to it." For many years, McEwen did the "Kirk And Mark" morning show at Baltimore's 98 Rock, and later at cross-town talker 105.7. He once worked at DC rocker DC101. Citadel launched 105.9 The Edge in August 2009.
