JOHN CARNEY
For over 40 years, St. Louisans’ have found comfort in the fact that there has been a Carney on the KMOX radiowaves. John can be heard weeknights at 8 at the helm of the "Carneyshow."
Broadcasting was not anything John Carney wanted to do as a kid, or even through high school. But now, with more than twenty five years behind the mic, he can’t imagine doing anything else. In a business where abnormal is the norm, John says, “I’m quite at home!”
Carney’s commitment to a career in radio came on the heels of advice from his father, the late Jack Carney of KMOX fame, who told him not to do it. As a professional defiant, young John knew what he had to do. It was on his twenty-first birthday that he celebrated his first day on the radio as the host of an afternoon country music show just outside of Denver (actually it was some 100 miles outside of Denver, but you’ve never heard of that town, and you can’t get there by car anyway!!) That first gig lasted only three months, but John says it was still a positive experience. “I really got to be a fast packer!”
