Brian McFayden is a name you might know from national media, and for a few months he was the guy waking up Denver on 98.5 KYGO. That is not a typical resume for a country morning host.
The resume before Denver
The job right before KYGO was sports anchor on HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade. Before that he was both host and producer at Al Gore’s Current TV, and earlier still he hosted MTV’s TRL and anchored MTV News. His radio roots are at 93.7 The Edge in Minneapolis and 92.3 K-Rock in New York.
Mornings on KYGO
His first day was Monday, December 7, 2020, when he teamed up with Tracy Dixon for KYGO Morning Show with Tracy & Brian. He told listeners he was excited to be running mornings at a station whose call letters carry so much history, and program director Brian Michel said he was happy to have him aboard. The run was brief: Brian left KYGO in March 2021, less than four months after starting.
