The KFGO Morning Crew, with a legacy of hosts like Lem Hawkins, Larry Ristvedt, and Tom Wynn, now features Doug Leier and Robbie Daniels on air from 5-8 a.m., along with Sarah Heinrich, Too Tall Tom Szymanski, Don Haney, Jack Michaels, and others. Robbie, a radio veteran of 30 years, joined in September, while North Dakota native Doug has been with KFGO since 2009. Doug, from Williston and raised in LaMoure and Valley City, is an NDSU graduate and an ND Bottineau Game and Fish biologist. A husband and father of three, he's a devout Christian and a proud German, only puts mustard on his bratwurst, and wishes the Waltons was still on TV. Robbie began her radio career at KBTO in Bottineau, ND, then moved to KDSR in Williston, and has been in Fargo since 1991, serving as a morning and midday host.

What is the KFGO Morning show? KFGO and the Morning Crew are more than just who's on-air. Their listeners, who call, text, and message in, play an integral role in sharing important information to kickstart the day. With an award-winning News Center, a top-notch meteorologist, a highly respected figure in sports broadcasting, and an exceptional Ag team on air, they are committed to sharing vital information with listeners. Plus, they try to add a smile and laughter to the start of their audience's day, even if it's momentarily!

Doug & Robbie's Local Picks

Threshers & Baseball: Doug's favorite activities change with the seasons but he never misses going to Rollog, MN every fall and RedHawks baseball on sunny summer afternoons.

Every Labor Day weekend in Rollag, thousands travel to celebrate the annual Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion—featuring 210 scenic acres of demos and exhibits—learn more about the historic event at rollag.com.

Red River: Any opportunity to be in or on the Red River is a strong suggestion because it's right in our own backyard. If you haven't canoed, kayaked, fished, or jet-skied the Red River—you are missing out on your own backyard! - Doug!

NDSU Pride: Bison Football Game & Tailgating. Museum: A few hours at the Fargo Air Museum (so much history). Music: A concert at Bluestem Amphitheater—such an amazing place to hear music, and there's no bad seat in the house. - Robbie
