The Morning Drive

KLPW's Bruce Campbell and John Covington

THE MORNING DRIVE with Bruce Campbell & John Covington: Local & national news, sports, traffic & weather, talk—includes Off the Cuff, Athlete of the Week, & the Mike Huckabee Report.

Bruce Campbell came into the world kicking and screaming in 1987. Twenty years later he graduated from Broadcast Center in St. Louis in 2007 and the rest is history.

Bruce is a movie and video game aficionado and he'll make sure you're aware of that fact. He's not the kind of voice you would normally hear on a talk radio station and he likes it that way, but even if he isn't aware of it he probably has an opinion on just about anything he comes across, whether it be politics or what's coming out in theaters on any given weekend.

Bruce grew up in New Haven, MO and has always loved living in the Franklin County Area. He couldn't be happier being a part of the KLPW team.

Be sure to catch both of Bruce Campbell's shows. You can hear him on The Morning Drive from 6-8 and be sure to catch Live for the Drive from 4-6 only on KLPW AM All Talk 1220! Accoring to him, "Can you really have too much Bruce Campbell? I'd like to think you can't."

John Covington has been employed at KLPW Radio for 24-years. He has performed a variety of tasks from sales to news and sports and currently holds the title of Sports Director.

A winner of the NSSA Missouri Sportscaster of the Year award in 2007 and 2009, John coordinates and broadcasts about 140-local football, volleyball, softball, basketball and baseball games each year. He is also a recipient of a 2010 Distinguished Service Award from the Missouri Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association. John also hosts the Sports Club Show Saturday mornings which features interviews with local coaches from the Four Rivers Conference, Washington and St. Francis Borgia.

When he's not broadcasting sports John enjoys spending time with his wife and three daughters who are also involved in athletics.

His interests away from radio include hunting and fishing, playing hockey and coaching little league softball in the summer.
