Shocking Departure: Beloved Kansas City Radio Host Exits Q104 KC – Second Loss in Two Months!
Kansas City, Mo. (KCTV) – The soundwaves of Kansas City’s beloved country radio station, KEBQ Q-104 FM, have undergone significant changes lately. In the past six weeks, the station has seen its second morning host departure, as Jenny Matthews announced her resignation on February 6. Matthews, who joined Q-104’s “New Hit Country” lineup in 2019, previously enjoyed a 16-year tenure at Kansas City’s 93.3 FM.
In a heartfelt social media post, Matthews cited personal reasons for her departure, including the desire to spend more time with her family. Her father’s illness has been a subject she’s spoken about openly on-air, and she expressed the need to prioritize her family life, including her two children. Reflecting on her career, Matthews shared her reluctance to host “The Jenny Matthews Show,” despite being offered the opportunity to run a solo program by the station’s management. “It just didn’t feel right,” she confessed, hinting that she may have already explored similar paths in her career.
Compounding her decision were the recent exits of her co-hosts, notably Todd Nixon, who finished his tenure at Q-104 in December 2024 after joining in 2017. These changes at the station seem to have signaled a turning point for Matthews, who is reflective as she approaches her 50th birthday. “I honestly don’t know what is next for me,” she admitted, though she expressed faith in a new direction guided by trust and spirituality.
Fear not, fans of Jenny Matthews; she intends to stay in Kansas City and invites followers to continue connecting with her via social media to witness her journey ahead. While the next chapter remains unwritten, Matthews looks forward with optimism, leaving her future adventures in the hands of fate.
