The 92 KQRS Morning Show (also known as the KQ Morning Crew) is a popular, long-running radio morning drive time show originating from KQRS-FM in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From the 1990s into the early 2000s, it was one of the highest-rated morning shows in the U.S.[1][2]
The show was hosted by Tom Barnard for 37 years, retiring at the end of 2022.[3] Barnard was replaced by Steve Gorman of the rock group The Black Crowes.[4] Brian Zepp, Candice Wheeler and Tony Lee are also heard on the show.
