Drew Johnson's BlogDREW JOHNSON

WEEKDAYS 1:00pm-6:00pm

Drew Johnson launched his rock radio career at KSHE in 1983, and has been keeping listeners company ever since. Drew brought his legendary smooth, natural on-air style to K-HITS 96 in 2000, where he now shares his passion for music with afternoon drivers. Many don't know this, but Drew actually studied theater in college and had wanted to be a stage actor. But, as he says, "I was sidetracked by rock 'n roll." And St. Louis appreciates his decision to pursue that passion. Drew knows how to present the classic hits of yesterday in a manner that makes them just as alive and relevant today. His ability to connect and relate to his listeners makes Drew an irreplaceable piece of the KHITS lineup. St. Louis rock radio veteran, Drew Johnson, can be heard Monday through Friday from 2PM to 7PM.
