Cumulus Media Vice President of Classic Rock and KQRS-FM Program Director James Kurdziel said, "When looking for someone to drive The KQ Morning Show, we needed a big personality with quick wits, brilliant storytelling, strong work ethic, will to win and most importantly, someone who wants to be a part of our community. We found all those things in Steve Gorman. Adding him to our established team of Zepp, Tony and Candice makes our show energetic, dynamic, topical, and all about Minnesota. We're fortunate to have landed our big fish."

Gorman commented, "When I got the call gauging my interest in the KQ Morning Show, I thought at first it must be a prank. A unique and truly iconic rock station in one of my favorite cities on Earth? Incredible. Easiest decision I've ever made. I can't wait to get started."
