Nighttime host Jack Rice is not on the KOGO schedule. He is in Washington D.C., and is heard on Air America from noon to 3 p.m. (ET). Last week, various hosts were filling in at KOGO, including Clint August.

Tonight, Lou Pate hits the mic at 6 p.m. Lou was previously in San Diego as Stacy Taylor’s producer at KSDO. Lou can be heard weekends at Denver’s KOA radio.

Sources from Washington, D.C., indicate that Jack will not “likely return to AM 600’s schedule” as his radio and TV career is taking off in the D.C. area. He has been a regular on MSNBC, FOX, and CNN. Jack was previously with WCCO-AM radio in the Twin Cities.

John Dean producer for and heard on the Ray Lucia financial show, completed a half marathon on Sunday.

John writes, “Finished the AFC Half Marathon 1:47:58 on Sunday. Decided not to take first place, and very courteously let 993 others finish ahead of me.”

John has style; always thinking about others.
