April 1st, 1994 was the day. There was a contest on the morning show which Grant and Amanda hosted at the time. You had to be the 11th caller to win; I happened to be the lucky caller!! First, I could hardly believe I had gotten through. Second, I thought the winner for the day (seems like this contest ran for more than day) was going to be put in for a drawing to win a trip for 4 to Disneyland, which was NOT the case. Grant and Amanda had to convince me that I had actually won a trip. Third, I had a hard time convincing family, friends, and co-workers that I had won since they all thought it was an April Fool’s joke! The trip was fabulous-it included flights, transfer to the Disneyland hotel, 3 days admission into the park, food coupons, meals with Disney characters…the whole works. Thank you KSL radio for all you do. ... Read More Read Less

I was a teenager back in the 90’s. I remember so many times riding in the car while my dad was driving, feeling so annoyed, because he was listening to KSL News Radio. I could not even fathom why anyone would want to listen to talk radio instead of music! My dad didn’t listen to it at a normal level either. The volume was so extremely loud because despite his hearing aids, he struggled hearing at normal levels. So when he was driving, we had the talk radio blaring! I remember a specific time when he was driving me and a roommate back up to Utah State, and for some reason we were taking the long way of going on Highway 89 from Bountiful (probably because of an accident that he was alerted to on the radio). I felt so embarrassed that we had to listen to talk radio the whole way to Logan, with my friend sitting in the back seat. There was so much noise already in the car, there was no reason to try to carry on a conversation. I remember asking him if we could listen to some music instead and I think that at some point he changed the station. Fast forward almost 30 years and I’m an adult now, and I’m in much of the same life circumstances that my dad was in back then, despite the hearing, thank goodness! I am married and have three children of my own. I listen to KSL Talk Radio almost every day. I listen to it in the morning while I’m getting ready and throughout the day when I’m driving in my car. I often think back about the times that I was so annoyed with my dad listening to the same thing that I now listen to, and I feel gratitude. Gratitude for the memories. My dad died not too many years after that time driving me back up to college. He died too young at the age of 50. I like to think that my current family is in about the same times of life that my family that I came from was in back then. Life can get complicated but looking back and seeing the similarities of me and him makes me smile and so grateful for the memories. ... Read More Read Less

KSL Memories Growing up in Southern California, I spent many happy summer vacations with cousins in Utah, as both of my parents were from Salt Lake City. Therefore, whenever I could pick up KSL on the radio (listening to distant stations was one of my hobbies), I was reminded of good times with beloved family in the “tops of the mountains.” After moving to Provo to teach Religion at BYU, we often returned to my boyhood home in Los Angeles. On a Christmas trip there in 1973, I wondered if we would encounter winter weather during our drive back to Utah. This was long before computers and the internet, so my most dependable source was to listen to KSL’s evening news on our car radio. Instead of the expected newscast, however, I heard somber music and soon the announcement that Harold B. Lee had died after serving as Church President for only a year and a half. Hence KSL kept me informed even when I was hundreds of miles away! A Memory Shared by Another Dr. LeRoy Hatch served as mission president in Mexico City. He discovered that in a certain hilltop location just outside of the city, he could often pick up KSL at night. He and a group of elders would drive there to enjoy broadcasts of BYU sports, which for many of them was a welcome link with home. Richard O. Cowan, Provo (richardocowan@gmail.com; 801 377-8833) ...

The year was 1975. I was newly married, pregnant and very sick. We had no TV or telephone. My companionship during several long months was KSL Radio with Danny Kramar and Bob Lee. Thank goodness for all of you. My 46 year old son and I thanks you. I still listen every day. ... Read More Read Less
