San Diego Radio: Clint August Joins KGB-FM Morning Show


iHeartMedia San Diego’s 101.5 KGB FM, San Diego’s Classic Rock, announced today the debut of “KGB Mornings with Sarah, Boyer and Clint,” starting Monday, January 23, 2023. “KGB Mornings with Sarah, Boyer and Clint” will broadcast weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

The new show will team longtime 101.5 KGB-FM afternoon drive personality, Clint August with two former members of the legendary “DSC” morning show, Sarah Beebe and Chris Boyer. The trio will co-host a morning show that helps San Diegans start their day with a good dose of humor, their favorite classic rock, the latest news and sports reports from former NFL offensive guard, Rich Ohrnberger.

Clint August has been a fixture in San Diego radio for the past 24 years. He got his start in broadcasting as a morning show sidekick known for making crank calls with his spot-on impersonations of popular celebrities. Clint is an avid motorcyclist and active supporter of military causes, which lead him to create an annual motorcycle ride and event to benefit Home Front San Diego.

“It’s an honor to be a part of a heritage radio station like 101.5 KGB in any capacity but the move to mornings is truly is a game changer for me,” said Clint August. “Who wouldn’t want to goof around on a microphone with good friends like Sarah and Boyer? They encouraged me to go for this, so I’m forever grateful to them, my co-workers and to management for allowing me to be a part of this exciting new chapter. I can’t help but feel tremendous gratitude to the listeners over the past twelve years who’ve been so supportive.”

“Clint in my mind was always on the back burner as a candidate only because I viewed him as the perfect afternoon drive host. Boy was I wrong,” said Shauna Moran, Director of Rock Programming for iHeartMedia San Diego. “During the first audition on air with Sarah and Boyer I knew in my gut there was something really special there. It was seamless. Then, with overwhelming feedback from the listeners — many who were P1 ‘DSC’ show listeners — it just sealed the deal. There was no denying he was the right person for the job.”

“What a perfect transition for KGB to move Clint August into mornings alongside Sarah and Boyer. Our audience has spoken and we have listened,” said Noreen Ippolito, Market President, iHeartMedia San Diego. “Clint is one of the great radio stories, having grown up in the radio business. He is a true San Diegan and has a heart for all members of the community, particularly for the military and our veterans. We look forward to this new morning trio waking up our friends in San Diego and beyond on the iHeartRadio App.”
