Tom Maicke

Sundays 9-11a.

A native of the Chicagoland area, Tom Maicke started with KFMH in 1990 doing weekend overnights while attending St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. After he graduated in 1992, Tom took over the evening air-shift at The Plus and would have never left, if wasn’t for that fateful day in March of 1994.

Soon after KFMH closed its doors, Tom worked part-time at Power 98.9 in Rock Island…a job that has left scars on Tom’s soul until this very day. Less than a year later, after going insane from Top-40 madness, Tom went back to work for Captain Steve on his new AM station in Iowa City, 1560 (now 1630) KCJJ. There, Tom was the afternoon news anchor and Production Manager. In 1997, Tom left KCJJ, married his beautiful wife Lisa and moved back to the Chicagoland area where he is currently a Union Electrician.

“I couldn’t be more proud than to be a part of the resurrection of one of the most legendary radio stations in the country. 20-years-ago, we were the station that turned our listeners on to the cool new music that nobody else would play because it wasn’t ‘popular’. Since we returned, I’ve had people tell me that back in the day, KFMH turned them on to bands like The Clash and The Replacement’s …how cool it that?! It’s my goal to continue that Pirate Radio tradition well into the future on 99pluskfmh.com.”
