Ron
Mon-Fri 9am - 12Noon ET
I was born and raised in San Francisco. I grew up listening to radio stations in the Bay Area like KFRC & KYA and knew that was what I wanted to do. I graduated from San Francisco State with a degree in Broadcasting & Communication Arts.
Right out of college got my first job in radio at KBLF AM 1490 in Red Bluff, California. Then onto KOBO AM 1450 in Yuba City, California doing mornings and program director. From there it was off to KOWL AM 1490 in South Lake Tahoe, California where I ended up with the morning show and program director duties in the 1980’s.
From Tahoe it was off to KNVR 96.7 FM in Chico, California as program director and mornings. I was only there for about a year, couldn’t handle the owner. Then it was off to KHYL (COOL 101.1 FM) Sacramento, where I was an on air personality for over 10 years. Today I’m on “That 70’s Channel” and love playing the biggest hits of the 70’s and more! I also own and operate a Mobile DJ company “DJ Sun City AZ Entertainment” in the Phoenix, Arizona area.

Bud Kress
Station Owner/Program Director/Chief Engineer
I love radio I was born and raised in Sacramento CA. class of 1974, In 1975 I started my career at Radio Shack, a Store Manager at age 22. That was where I meet a Radio DJ named Chuck, who was doing a remote at the Grand Opening of my store. It changed my life.
In 1983, I made my on-air debut at KWOD Sacramento and KPOP Roseville/Sacramento. In 1989, I decided that radio needed to be part time (I like food and shelter), and for 33 years I was a public servant with the State of California. During that time I spent most of my radio career in the Studios part time at KGBY Sacramento and after retirement in the network operation center at K LOVE.
And way back in 2002, I started an internet station on Live365 as a hobby, That 70’s Channel, and in 2011 added That Christmas Channel.
We celebrated our 20th year in July, (Check out that story in the Station Bio) I also serve on the board of my Homeowners Association and share my home with my nephew and the best cat on planet, Jack.
