KFI adds ‘Monks and Merrill,’ shuffles weekday show lineup

KFI (640 AM) may be down, but its certainly not out. It is still considered one of the premiere talk outlets in the country, and the highest-rated AM station in Los Angeles, even if not as high as just a year ago.

Chris Merrill agrees. He’s been building his craft most recently at KTAR/Phoenix, and was recently selected to be paired with Michael Monks for a new early afternoon program, “Monks and Merrrill,” part of a program shuffle that puts John Kobylt back into afternoons and Tim Conway Jr.
