Popular radio host Branden Rathert in Columbia, MO

Whatever happened to Branden Rathert, the award-winning afternoon drive host for News Radio 1620?

Rathert is the Morning Host of “Wake Up Columbia” at KSSZ (“HotTalk 93.9 The Eagle”) in Columbia, Missouri.

In 2011, Rathert won a first place award for a public affairs radio program from the Florida Associated Press Broadcasters Association for a documentary based on his undercover investigation on the homeless in Escambia County.

Columbia is twice the size of Pensacola. Its Metropolitan area is the state’s fourth most populous. The city is home to the University of Missouri.

Not a bad move for Branden.
