Jamie Allman
KFTK 97.1 FM Talk/St Louis
Monday–Friday 5 – 9 am
Our countdown to #1 continues today with the #9 pick.
Jamie Allman does mornings at KFTK in St. Louis, but somehow gets overshadowed by the station’s mid-day host, Dana Loesch, who doubles as a contributor to Fox News and edits Andrew Breitbart’s Big Journalism. Crap, he’s even getting overshadowed by Dana in this story. Sorry, Jamie.
But overshadowed is one thing Jamie Allman shouldn’t be. In addition to being a great morning man, Jamie’s a real newsman, a guy who’s won 14 Emmys and multiple Edward R. Murrow Awards as a TV investigative and political reporter.
On top of that, he was voted best radio host by Missouri Broadcasters in 2006 and 2008, writes for Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller and is an op-ed columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Bottom line: he’s one very busy guy.
His show in 13 words or less: “Often imitated, copied and condemned, it’s Allman In The Morning: Common Sense Radio!”
Here’s a whole hour of Jamie doing that Allman thing from just a few days ago:
