Cosmo & JC in the Morning
Cosmo & JC in the Morning was a radio show hosted by DJs Cosmo and JC from 2004-2011. It was the morning show on Y107 from 5:30 am to 10:00 am. The duo has been known for frequent pranks and stunts, including Punishment Poker. On April Fool's Day 2011, they played Rebecca Black's "Friday" for an hour and a half until a local company called in and gave $3,000 to the Children's Miracle Network as long as they stopped playing the song. They came to Y107 from Mid-Missouri Broadcasting's KOQL (Q106.1), which is now owned by Cumulus. After joining Y107, ratings for the station have increased dramatically. According to on-air promos, Cosmo & JC in the Morning claimed to be number-one in the morning. It was replaced with Cosmo & Whitney in the Morning from 2011-2015, and continued on as Cosmo & Mike in the Morning from April 20, 2015 to June 3, 2016, until Mike left the market. Cosmo was solo until November, as Y107 launched a co-host for Cosmo promotion, sending out an open casting call, and on location auditions.
Cosmo and the Y107 Morning Show
On Nov. 12, 2016, the station started teasing that "mornings will never be the same" starting Monday, and Cosmo was completely removed from the website. Nov. 14 saw the launch of "Marilyn in the Morning" featuring a popular caller taking over the airwaves in pre-recorded segments and bits. On Nov. 15, "Marilyn in the Morning" was gone, but there were continuous static breaks into and after songs, with nearly inaudible people talking. Listener reaction generated speculation and rumors as to what happened to their beloved Cosmo, expressing the desire for his return. On Wednesday, November 16, Cosmo and the Y107 Morning Show was launched featuring Cosmo alongside newcomers Jax and Jaime. It was revealed Jaime was found during the summer-long co-host for Cosmo search, and was a lifelong resident of Mid Missouri. Jax came to the show after being on air in the Chicago area. Popular segments include relationship "ghosting" segment "Hook-up or Hang-up", Friday phone prank dubbed "Phone Jacks", the "Loser Line", "Turn-up Tuesday", "Confession Line", and "Struggle Bus Wednesday". Jaime left the show in October of 2017. Co-Worker Laura appeared regularly on the show through the summer of 2018. Jax left the show in September of 2018. Co-Worker Laura also left weeks later.
On January 2, Lauren, a radio newcomer from Jefferson City, MO was added to the weekend line-up and began assisting Cosmo. In March of 2019 she was officially offered the co-host position live on air, with one stipulation: she'd first have to take 1007 selfies with listeners. A week later, the "Lo Across MidMo" challenge was complete, and Lauren became official. The show has continued many features including "Hook-up or Hang-up", "Phone Jacks", "Turn-Up Tuesday", and "Confession Line". They've added "What the... Wednesday" and "Bachelor Theater" during runs of the TV show. The show has returned to the #1 rated morning show in the market.
