104.9 The X Morning Host

The pride and joy of DeKalb, Illinois. I got into radio because I needed to find a career where my smart mouth was actually an asset... So after years of being fired from a variety of different jobs, I have finally found a home on The X and I couldn’t be happier!

When I’m not crackin’ wise in the mornings, you can usually find me downtown eating tacos at CJ’s or in the stands at an Icehogs game heckling the refs. Catch me every morning from 6-10 on The Morning X! Let’s rock!

Lou Lombardo

Head of Audience Development & Brand Manager for 104.9 The X

Hey there, I'm Lou. I spent 12 years on the air in Chicago before finding my way to Stateline. If you’re into music, sports, comic book movies and beer we are going to get along just fine. I’m a die-hard when it comes to the Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks and NASCAR. Not to mention our own IceHogs! I’m lucky to be the dad to three amazing kids including identical twins, and no…I can’t tell them apart.  When I'm not working or dadding I'm usually hanging with my dog and watching a game. I’m also always ready to dig into  anything on Netflix about serial killers (creepy?) and I’m a sucker for “The Curse of Oak Island.” Yes. I know they’re never going to find anything. I also like to YouTube my way through just about any home improvement project, which usually gets me in over my head, but it keeps it interesting.

That just about does it. I do have to say, getting to play kick-ass music on The X everyday isn’t just a job, it’s a privilege.
