Mesa Kincaid was a talk radio host in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul broadcast area.
Education
Kincaid was raised in Minneapolis and attended Minneapolis Edison High School, where classmates voted her the one with "Wild Wit". During her time there, she also attended Brown College for radio, and from there she got her break and sprung into the Minneapolis market in a relatively short amount of time.
Career
After high school, Mesa wore many hats behind the curatins of the old Cricket Theater in Northeast Minneapolis. During that time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mesa also worked briefly as a marketing consultant for the Old West-themed park Mission Creek in northern Minnesota. She had a daughter. Kincaid worked in the 1970s and early 1980s at numerous stations including KQRS-FM, Washburn Crosby Company -FM (now KMNB) and KSTP-FM but is best remembered as "Cheetah" or "The Fox that Rocks" on U100, which later became KDWB-FM. Mesa also worked on the KQRS-FM morning show with Tom Barnard, which was called the "Cat and Kincaid" show.
She was a pioneer in a male-dominated industry and is known for her sparkling on-air presence and, on a more personal level, her deep compassion and sacrifice for those she cared about.
