A fixture in Arkansas broadcasting has died.
Bob Knight — the co-owner of Mountain Lakes Broadcasting Corporation and president and general manager of Mountain Home radio stations KTLO, Classic Hits, and The Boot — died Thursday night. He was 76.
KTLO.com noted that Knight “…helped Twin Lakes Area residents greet the day for over 40 years as the voice of KTLO with his familiar ‘it’s time to rise and shine’ each morning shortly after 6. His calming voice brought comfort to his community of listeners during storms, the recent pandemic, and other uncertain times, bringing vital life-saving information and reassurance.”
Knight started working for KTLO in 1968 when he was 23.
