The KQ Morning Show
Weekdays, 6am–10am
About the Show
The KQ Morning Show has been the Northlands #1 morning show for over 20 years. Every weekday morning from 6-10, Jason and Scott cover news, information, weather and sports with Bruce Ciskie. The boys discuss what in the actual %&*$ is the City up to now? Potholes. Fishing. Hot tubs. Jason’s fictitious gout flare-ups. They interview big-time celebrities. They discuss restaurants that poison you. And they are always reminding kids “don’t do drugs or we will personally throttle you”. The show is a bit like herding cats. The KQ Morning Show is one of the most highly rated, listened to radio programs in the Upper Midwest. They are live, local and begging for cheeseburgers at every turn.
Show Hosts
Bruce Ciskie
Bruce is a Duluth radio veteran, if there is such a thing. Started as a part-timer in 1996 and worked his way up the food chain because there wasn’t really anything else he was capable of doing. Now you hear him daily on the KQ Morning Show, delivering sports and putting up with Jason’s inability to pay attention.
He is commonly found at Duluth Marshall hockey games, cheering on his son, who plays for the junior varsity. No, he’s not the one endlessly yelling at the refs.
Jason Manning
I’ve spent over twenty five years working behind the mic. I used to be a dairy farmer, truck driver, dish washer, grocery store clerk, semi-pro bowler, golf hustler, professional ring announcer (I still am!) and fishing guide. (Not anymore. I don’t want fishing to ever be work!) Jim and Judy Manning raised me to work hard and be independent because as Dad once said, “We’re Mannings. We ain’t that bright”. That’s why I currently do what I do. Thanks to some wonderful people over the years, I’ve been able to raise two great kids in Duluth doing a job I love. In my spare time I like to fawn over my wife, chase smallmouth and walleye, play some golf and pick a guitar all the while keeping cold High Life stocked in the fridge.
Scott Savage
Been with KQ for 19 years. Afternoon drive, then the originator of what is now the Afternoon Trainwreck.
