A familiar voice returns to Kansas City radio on 101 The Fox

Following the death of Brian “Slacker” Adams in April, Cumulus Media Kansas City’s 101 The Fox (KCFX) has tapped market veteran Doug Medlock as its new afternoon host. The move is part of a broader restructuring of the classic rock station.

Medlock previously served as a morning presenter at the station before focusing on dubbing. He will begin his new role on July 1.

Carey Curelop, KCFX program director, said, “Doug Medlock knows Kansas City, he knows the classic rock audience and we are incredibly happy that he has decided to return to 101 The Fox.”

Medlock expressed his excitement about returning to the station, saying: “I’ve loved radio since I was a kid. The cool DJs, the music and the strong connection to the local community. No other medium has such a personal connection with its audience. I’m so excited to be back at 101 The Fox.”

As for the rest of the schedule, former St. Louis talent Ashley “Lux” Mohr is returning to radio on the other side of Missouri, forming a morning duo at The Fox. Lux, a Missouri native, spent 15 years at Hubbard Broadcasting’s 105.7 The Point (KPNT) before retiring from the industry in 2022. She will co-host KCFX’s morning show with existing host Sparks.

Lux commented: “I’m so excited to be returning to radio at 101 The Fox. When I walked into the studio with Sparks, something just clicked and I knew immediately that this was where I needed to be. I’m so grateful to Derek Madden, James Kurdziel, Donna Baker, Jim Fox and Carey Curelop for believing in me and bringing me back to the mic!”

Curelop added, “We searched across the country for a partner who could complement the wit and connection with the listener that Sparks brings to 101 The Fox morning shows. Lux was his partner from minute one! She is funny, smart, honest and a great entertainer.”
