[Description by contributor Rich Borowy]
Guy Phillips and Mike Wall were a successful CHR morning team on KSLQ-FM in St. Louis, a few years before The Morning Zoo in New York. But their early success undoubtedly inspired a few of those “Morning Zoo/Rude Awakening/Morning Sickness” type radio teams that littered the FM landscape in 1980’s. Usually set in teams of two, these two guys (yep, it really was an old boys club, since very few females took part) would read humorous news reports from Reuters, banter with jokes and gags, and frequently had “characters” join in. And there were time and weather checks, traffic reports, sports and  they would play music, too!
As of 2006, there is a KSLQ-FM licensed in Washington, Missouri. I don’t know anything about Wall, but Phillips is still on the air in St. Louis over KYKY-FM, the new call letters for what was once KSLQ. He does a morning show called Phillips and Friends with four other personalities.
