•Happy birthday, but where are they now? Community radio station KKFI 90.1 FM celebrates its 20th birthday this week. But after we all raise a glass to the station’s longevity and many contributions to the community, how about a moment of silence for the high mortality rate and body count of its many contributors over that span? People like former “Driving the Blues” host Connie Crash, who disappeared from KKFI’s airwaves late last year.
“She’s free to come back anytime she wants,” says KKFI station manager Richard Pirodsky. “She was suspended, and the grievance committee laid out terms for her to meet for her to come back to the station.”
Meanwhile the Monday-through-Friday late-afternoon blues shows continue with a different host each night. Jo Mama took Crash’s place, Pirodsky says.
•We get her, babe: The ex-wife of Sonny Bono,Susie Coelho — who it turns out is also now a former HGTV host — will appear at this weekend’s Johnson County Home & Garden Show at the Overland Park Convention Center. She’s also the author of the recent book Secrets of a Style Diva.
