Stevens here....really?

Thanks to Gina and Coda for the shout-outs ! This whole thing began back in late summer 1985 (as a long time KKFMer reminded me yesterday). We created the Mark Bros show in summer of 1988--and it went til the end of 2002...14 years! After a detour through Texas and Washington DC--I came back to Colorado this past October to be closer to my mom (who lives in Durango) and my brother and his family in Denver. With that move came the chance to fill in for Coda on vacation and do some weekends here at KKFM. It was such a kick that somehow someway the powers that be decided to let me do it everyday from 3 to 7pm, starting this past Monday. I wanted to thank all the callers since i have been back..and e-mailers too....it gives me pause to know that in some small way we have touched your lives in one way or another..good or bad :)) To me this is the beginning of the next phase of my 25 yr plus radio career...things are tough out there for everyone, including the radio biz too...BUT the reason we do this is because we love it! Radio remains the best way to reach out and touch people...to connect in ways the other media cannot..and without a doubt, southern Colorado has some of the greatest most loyal listeners I have seen! It is great to be bak in the KKFM family again...check back as i will be posting random thoughts and old mark bros memories too ! Again , thanks to everyone for making this return to KKFM such a heartwarming thing for me! and now....let's PARTY!
