Special Guest: Tom Barnard
Tom Barnard (born November 7, 1951) is an American talk radio host and former voice-over talent. He is currently the host of The KQ92 Morning Show broadcast in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
Barnard was born in Long Prairie, Minnesota and raised in North Minneapolis. He and his wife Kathryn Brandt live with their two children in Golden Valley, Minnesota.
Before coming to KQRS, Barnard worked at numerous stations including WDGY and KSTP (as “The Catman”). Until 1986, Barnard was the booth announcer for KSTP-TV.
Barnard, and then-partner Dan Culhane, started the “Tom and Dan” show in 1986 featuring sports reports from WCCO-TV sports anchor Mark Rosen. At one point, the team of Barnard and Culhane spearheaded a write-in campaign to elect Rosen For Governor of Minnesota. Culhane was eventually pushed out of the broadcast in a personnel move, while Rosen was “persuaded” by WCCO-TV’s parent company to move his morning sports to WCCO-AM
Barnard is very reclusive, refusing virtually all media interviews and rarely making public appearances. However, Barnard and Culhane were guests with two other Twin Cities radio show duos on a local morning television show in 1988.
With Podcasting technology, the show has reached national and international audiences. Regardless of the growth in his show’s market, Barnard continuously assures listeners that “The Morning Show” will maintain its focus on the news, weather, sports and traffic of the Minneapolis-St.Paul area.
Although he is semi-retired from voice-over work, he can currently be heard in radio ads for Home Depot. For many years Barnard’s voice was heard in various markets, introducing shows and appearing on commercials.
