ERIK KELLY - 11AM - 3PM

I am new to the radio business but I'm learnin'. Here's a little about myself. I grew up on a farm between Caledonia and Eitzen. "Mama Tried," she always tells me, I'm "so much like my dad."

"What's a guy gotta do to get a girl in this town"! Yes, ladies, I'm still single but I'm looking. Looking for a "Redneck Woman" who "thinks my tractors sexy." I don't want one from "Brokenheartsville." Maybe one who likes to do a little "fishin' in the dark" or sing "Whiskey Lullabyes" to our kids. Would like to have 3 daughters, "Elvira", "Bobby Sue" & "Jolene".

I'm "just a good ole boy", graduated with honors from "Honkytonk U." "If I know me", I will "Desperately" like to go to "Some Beach" where "No shirt, no shoes, no problem" is a rule of thumb. I'm not "as good as I once was" but "I cross my heart" "there's more where that came from". That's all about me for now and that's not the "famous last words of a fool."

RHONDA GRITTON - NEWS

Hi! I was raised all over the country, Air Force brat, and proud of it! I went to High School in Colorado Springs where I met my husband. He is an Iowa boy and we ended up here! I have 2 children, Steven is 24; lives in the Twin Cities; Diana is 20; lives in Cedar Rapids.

My radio experience started at KGCI in Grundy Center back in the 80’s. I started out working the computer and eventually became the morning show personality. I was hooked.

We moved to Decorah in 1994, just as KVIK was getting ready to go on the air. I started out filling in for Patty in the mornings, hey, I use to do it for free!! Eventually, Les started letting me fill in for him and he gave me my own special time on Tuesday afternoon!

On March first of 2005 I was promoted to News Director. That was an exciting day!! So now I come in at 5:30 every morning and bring you news of the area along with a little state information. I also play music for you from 9 until 11 every morning. I enjoy spending our time together! Thanks for visiting our website. Let us hear from you!!
