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 or picture of the Broadcaster you're looking for, click their name or picture and behold a brief bio... and perhaps a larger picture. If you're looking for a Broadcaster that may have been on-air in the past, click here for some of KVMR's Past Broadcasters.
