Tom Barnard has been with KQRS since 1986

Cumulus has inked long-running KQRS Minneapolis morning show personality Tom Barnard to a multi-year contract extension. Barnard, a Minneapolis native, is one of the most popular morning show hosts in America and has been a fixture on KQRS since 1986. He was recognized for broadcasting excellence in 2006 with a Marconi Award for Large Market Personality of the Year and is known for his trademark humor and candor on a broad range of topics. Beginning his radio career in 1971, he has also enjoyed a successful voiceover career. In 2017, Barnard was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame and in 2018 entered the Pavek Museum, honoring Minnesota Broadcasters.

Brian Philips, Executive Vice President, Content and Audience, Cumulus Media said, "With pride and pleasure we celebrate the news that Tom will continue to broadcast from the place he most belongs, KQRS. Tom is the Twin Cities' hometown-born morning king, and Cumulus is immensely proud and protective of our long relationship with him."

This tells me they have no plan for what to do when he does retire. He's 68, this can't keep on forever.

I wonder what will happen when he finally does retire?
