| The
Breakfast Club . . .
For many of KQV's years in top 40, they would break away from the format for 1 hour of programming at 9 am. After the Breakfast Club, KQV would return to music. For a short time, starting on Feb 22, 1954 - The Breakfast Club program, was simulcast on TV. The telecast of the show was a bomb, but the radio program went on to break records as the longest - running program on the air. |

McNeill's Breakfast Club began on June 23, 1933. The show was broadcast
nationwide from Chicago. In 1933, "The Pepper Pot" radio program
welcomed a new host. Don McNeill took over the show and renamed it "The
Breakfast Club". The show, a huge success for the NBC - Blue Network and
later, ABC Radio, became one of the longest - running radio programs in
history. The show aired with McNeill as host until December 27, 1968. "The
Breakfast Club" was a morning show that had its share of corny jokes, visiting
celebrities and lots of audience participation.
