KROQ/Los Angeles Welcomes Kevin Ryder Back for Afternoons

Kevin Ryder

KROQ in Los Angeles welcomes back Radio Hall of Famer Kevin Ryder, weekdays from 3-7pm PT. Megan Holiday will now host evenings. Ryder first began his career at KROQ on January 2, 1990, alongside Gene "Bean" Baxter on "The Kevin & Bean Show." Together, they became the number one show in the market and the longest-running morning show in the country. From 2021 to 2024, Ryder co-hosted afternoons at KLOS-FM in Los Angeles.

"Kevin Ryder is a Radio Hall of Fame Broadcaster who spent most of his adult life waking up SoCal with his former partner Bean," said Kevin Weatherly, Senior Vice President of Programming, KROQ. "Their authentic and irreverent morning show is legendary, and I've had the privilege of having a front-row seat for the majority of it. Kevin's return to KROQ in afternoons is a full circle moment in the best way possible."

"I spent half of my life with my fellow favorite weirdos, helping to make KROQ an iconic radio station and a global destination to foster and nurture musical groups," added Ryder. "It was also a home for many LA listeners, and with my old boss back programming KROQ, I'm excited to be speaking my own version of the English language again at the station I love."
