Renee Blanche, Host of Night Tides
Phone: 816.235.1551

The lovely lilting voice heard on KCUR on Sunday nights belongs to Renee, a native of Detroit Michigan. After ending her first career in the military, Renee landed in El Paso, Texas where her life in radio began. Her skills as a volunteer announcer were honed at community radio station KXCR-FM during a three year stay. Commercial radio was her next stop as weekend announcer for adult contemporary stations K-LITE and B-94 FM. A daughter and a son later and ready to return to the Midwest, Renee moved to Kansas City in 1993. She was hired as the mid-day announcer for KCUR and also served as a traffic reporter for Metro Traffic Control. She started her role as host of the Night Tides program in 1994...the rest is history. A self-described workaholic, Renee manages to find time to perform as a voiceover talent, a volunteer auctioneer for KCPT, and as a diversity facilitator for the Harmony organization. She is also a Moderator for the Citistates Forums through the Ewing Kauffman Foundation.
