The KQ Morning Show
Weekdays, 6am–10am
About the Show
The KQ Morning Show has been the Northlands #1 morning show for over 25 years. Every weekday morning from 6-10, Jason and Scott cover news, information, weather and sports with Bruce Ciskie. Northland News Center bigshot meteorologist Hunter McCullough joins the fellas when he feels like it. Every week the boys speak with doctors, lawyers, police officers, automotive techs, accountants, fishing guides….you know….information that the “gentle listener” can use! They also have a segment on Thursday morning detailing people getting sick from bad food and the horrific aftermath. They love their wives, they love their kids and they love their country. They are live, local and begging for food 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 and fishing guide. My wife, Briana and I also own the Fredenberg Minno-ette, a bait shop and convenience store about 20 miles north of Duluth. My parents, Jim and Judy Manning raised me to work hard and to be independent because as Dad once said, “Our last name is Manning. We ain’t that bright so you’d better work HARD!” He was right. 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.
