The UO’s student radio station KWVA is celebrating its 30th anniversary this May. I was the station’s first-ever music director when it signed on 88.1 FM in 1993. How did that experience prepare me for my career? My experience at KWVA changed my life. In 2016, I realized my dream of becoming the owner of my own radio station, KORE 1050 AM & 95.7 FM – FOX Sports Eugene. Locally owned radio. What a concept!!
