Johnny Dare Morning Show, Ponch & Nikki take to the air for a final time
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Two long-time Kansas City morning shows have been trimmed from Audacy’s lineup, with no word yet on what will replace them.

The Ponch and Nikki Show on 99.7 the Point also told fans on Thursday that they would no longer broadcast over the channel.
