Terry Meiners, the longtime host of the afternoon drive-time show on NewsRadio 840 WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky, recently marked 50 years in radio broadcasting as of 2025.
His career spans from starting in 1975 (or around 1976 based on some accounts) at stations like WLRS and WQMF, to joining WHAS in 1985, where he has hosted weekday afternoons (typically 3-6 PM or similar) for 40 years.
He is celebrated for his humorous style, including impersonations of local figures, satirical interviews with celebrities, politicians, and comedians, and engaging conversations with newsmakers and everyday people. Meiners has also appeared on WHAS-TV, co-hosting shows like Great Day Live for several years.
Also in December 2025, local media (including the Courier-Journal) highlighted his milestone with photo galleries and tributes, recognizing his 50 years in the industry and 40 years specifically at WHAS.
Podcasts and special segments, such as "50 Years of Terry Meiners Radio Bits," have featured highlights from his career, including comedy sketches, interviews, and monologues from across stations.
His show remains active on WHAS, with recent episodes and podcasts still airing. He continues to be a staple of Louisville media, and his bio and schedule on the WHAS/iHeartMedia site show him as the current host.
