On Air Personalities

Who are these people...?

KVMR has more personality because it has more personalities. You hear their voices, learn to recognize their tastes, and come to identify with them over time. But who are they, really?

Here is an ever changing list of KVMR Broadcasters, including those that are no longer with us, but whose memories we hold bright. Find the name of the Broadcaster you're looking for, click their name and behold a brief bio... and perhaps a picture.

Phil Givant
Formerly hosted The Blues with Phil

Phil's closing words;

"Remember that American music is at the root and heart of its cultural impact on the rest of the world and that the root of American music is America's black music. At the root of America's black music is the blues. And if you look at it that way and really understand it, you'll understand the historical and contemporary significance of the blues!

Therefore, it is time for white Americans to look at black American's contributions to this great nation and to identify black Americans with those contributions. If this country is to succeed at peace it must cease incorporating the black man's creativity into the American fabric while at the same time rejecting black people.

Therefore, let justice roll down as the waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. And to all you young people, develop a love of learning and stay in school because knowledge is power and is like the wind. Once you obtain it you can go anywhere."
