Success With A K: KVIL & Kannon In The Morning
Follow CBSDFW.COM: Facebook | Twitter
I love KVIL, ever since I did that 2-hour Sunday night show in October 1968 at age 14 just before Ron Chapman took over the mornings and put this station on the national stage ever since. There was even a bumper sticker that you could put on your car, simply saying, "I Love KVIL" with "love" in the form of a heart. A station with a tradition of great personalities, great music, and great promotions. And that tradition continues today, some 47 years later.
Now the newest personality to take over the AM drive responsibilities is Mike Kannon, or as he says, "Kannon In The Morning…With A K". Previously, Kannon was the morning drive personality for i93 (KLIF-FM) which is now Hot 93.3. i93 had been more of a Top 40 station but later shifted its music playlist to more contemporary hip hop and R&B. His extensive background in radio includes stations in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Portland ME., and Raleigh NC. While in Boston, he hosted the nationally syndicated Open House Party and still does on Sunday nights.
If you have not listened to Kannon yet, you need to. He's good! And he's a savvy social media guy too. He'll keep you in the know!
The rest of the KVIL weekday line up is:
*10am-3pm: Sybil Summers
*3pm-7pm: Leigh Ann Adam & Courtney Kerr
*7p-12mn: Kory
Each and every one of these individuals are extremely talented!
The station is KVIL-FM & HD1, Highland Park/Dallas/Fort Worth. The address is 103.7 FM and HD1 with 100,000 watts of power. Also available on other devices via www.radio.com.
See you next week.
