MATT RYAN - Afternoon News Reporter
Matt Ryan joined the NewsTalk 94.3 staff in 2006 as the Afternoon Anchor/Reporter. Matt got his start in broadcasting at KTJJ, KREI, KJFF in Farmington / Festus, Missouri (St. Louis DMA) in 1999. "I remember my first day very well," says Ryan. "Within the first ninety minutes on the job, a military fighter jet crashed about forty minutes west of the station. Talk about stress.I hadn't even learned how to use a phone in the newsroom yet!" Since then, Ryan has been the recipient of several Missouri Broadcaster Association Awards, including Best Feature Series and Best Spot News Coverage in the state. He was also a finalist for anchoring the Best Newscast several years in a row, and can often be heard on ABC News freelance reporting on national news stories that originate from the region. A graduate of Mineral Area College in 1999, with a good portion of college time on a Music Scholarship, Ryan recounts covering several stories during his career that stay on his mind even today. "The one that probably stands out the most in my mind was a plane that literally crashed in my back yard. I had been at the station for less than 10 minutes that day when the plane went down. I went home that night after covering the story and felt like I was still part of it. I was trying to fall asleep with bright spotlights shining into my bedroom window from the crash scene."

A native of Missouri, when he's not on the job, Ryan enjoys hiking, exercising, singing, and church work. He takes an active role at his church, which is one of the big reasons that brought him to the area.

GREG DUNKER - Morning Show Host / PD
Greg says there are three people to blame for his getting into radio... his dad, John Stewart (again?) and Dr. Jeff. "Dad told me to find something I enjoyed doing, and John Stewart steered me to radio," said Greg. "Dr. Jeff got me a job here in 1986." If you'll notice, John Stewart is responsible for almost the entire WKYX staff getting into radio. In fact, John Stewart got himself into radio. We think it was an airborne virus.

Outside of radio, Greg is a die-hard Cubs fan and a chili head.
