16 Years Of Morning Radio At KFOX

Today is the 16th anniversary of doing the KFOX Greg Kihn Morning Show.  16 years!  That’s unbelievable!  So much has happened over the years.  We were different people 16 years ago- I still smoked and drank, my parents were still alive, 911 hadn’t happened yet, the whole world was a different place!  We have lost a lot for friends over that 16 years- Brianna Kalina, bandmates Gary Phillips and Dave Carpender, Steve Wright’s stroke, Ronnie Montrose, countless other friends, 11 Kihncerts, through the ups and downs- we survived.  To spend your entire career at one station is very rare, especailly on the morning show.  I am humbled.
 I want to thank each and every one of you.  You are the reason this show has survived.  In case you haven’t noticed, this isn’t just any old radio show- it’s special!  What we have here at KFOX is different and precious.  There ain’t another show like it on all of radio.
You are the best listeners on the planet! I feel the love every morning. 
God bless KFOX for the opportunity and God bless you for listening.  I mean, it’s so special to me.  Everyday when I get up hours before the crack of dawn I think about it- how lucky I am to have this job.
Let’s go for another 16!

    Has it been that long already? Wow! Can I think of you as the recipient of the torch of Dr. Don Rose, then? Congratulations on your long run in a volatile industry. Once again, talent leads to success for you. Successful musician, writer, and radio personality…. your own personal hat trick!

    WOW! 16 years is quite an accomplishment. But at the same station…in the #4 market…plus morning drive…that’s truly remarkable. Congrats to you, Greg and Chris, for keepin’ it real. Q: Is it possible to drop in some quick, memorable air check moments from the past 16 years?
