MEET THE POWER 97.77 TEAM

Rick Masters (M-F: 6AM TO 10AM)

Email Rick: rick@power977.com

Rick began his radio career in 1988 at a small station in SW MO. About a year later he migrated to Springfield, MO and joined the staff of a Classic Rock powerhouse. After working at a few other stations in that market, Rick left for Jefferson City to work for a sports network. Fast forward six years and Rick is back in Springfield working at the job he previously vacated. Then, in 2021 Rick joined the ranks of Benne Media and landed in the lovely Sedalia, MO area to do the morning show on Power 97.7 and he loves it. Please don't run him out of town… yet.

Sandra Evans (M-F: 10AM TO 3PM)

Hi, I'm Sandra Evans, your Queen of the Midday

I have the pleasure of taking you through your work day with the best rock music ever. Thank you for that opportunity.


Sandra Evans grew up a genuine Midwest farmers granddaughter and loves nothing better than listening to rock and roll music all day. Still, a good streaming movie binge and popcorn feast will do in a pinch. Sandra is an avid reader of rock icon biographies – as long as it is an audio book. To all those fool hardy would-be challengers – BEWARE. Almost no one can beat Sandra in a round of pop culture history trivia or a 1980s style dance-off. Ms. Evans considers herself among the blessed to enjoy your company every weekday while playing classic hits and dancing as if trying out to be an old-school video vixen. Some people are so lucky!

"Where do I begin?  Does it really matter?  More importantly, do you really care?  I'm in Sedalia, Missouri working for Power 97.7.  I live my life through the best-selling book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a ****: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life" by Mark Manson.  It's a good read and I highly recommend it.  I love what I get to do for a living because there aren't a lot of jobs like it.  I've also had the privilege to emcee for the Springfield Cardinals, Missouri State University, The Price is Right LIVE!, stock shelves at ALDI grocery store, and donating my time to countless local charitable organizations.  Give me a microphone and I get to be an idiot and love every minute of it.  I look forward to meeting you sometime, somewhere in the future."
