The DJ Files ‹ KTKE 101.5 Truckee Tahoe Radio

	Lindsay with an “A” Morning Show with Lindsay Monday – Friday: 7-11:00am Program Manager / On Air Talent Contact: lindsay@truckeetahoeradio.com How did you end up in radio? Besides the face for it? I had a show on my college station- WTBU- and realized if I worked in radio, I never had to shower before work again and I would get paid to talk. If you weren’t on the air, what would you want to be doing? Something political campaigning related or just completely ski bumming it up. First concert? The Monkees when I was five. My sister and I really got into the reruns of their TV show for some reason and our parents took us to see them on their reunion tour. Don’t ask me about my second show. I might have had a thing for boy bands of the late ’80s Beatles Or Elvis? Elvis and I share the same birthday, so I have always had a fondness for the King. But, my dad was a huge Beatles fan, so we listened to all the records growing up. Have to go with a tie on that one. What is your favorite part of living in the Tahoe-Truckee area? Too many to name, but I’ll list a few: I get to work for an INDEPENDENT radio station, get to ride any day I can get away from the station, and get to be surrounded by the some of nicest people and most down to earth people I have ever met!

	Rory O’Farrell Afternoon Show with Rory Monday – Friday: 3-7:00pm On Air Talent Contact: When I came to Truckee to teach media at the High School, 101.5 asked me to broadcast Truckee High Football. It was like coming full circle in my career- I started in my hometown, Stockton, as News Director and broadcasting Tracy High Football. In between Tracy and Truckee there were lots of days and nights spent dragging TV production gear around California- and lots of Grateful Dead shows. My job is to be “hyper-local”- when you tune into the afternoon show, I’ll fill you in on all the local events and stories- and of course, Funky Fridays!
	Mr. D Deep Tracks with Mr D Tuesday: 7-10:00pm Presented by Mamasake On Air Talent Contact: I moved to Tahoe from Long Beach, CA during the Rodney King riots. It was surreal at first, then a bit dangerous. That was about 14 years ago. Never was a skier or a winter guy, but I truly love the summers up here. Picked up skiing about 10 years ago. I bartend @ Mamasake in The Village @ Squaw as well as DJ for KTKE. HOW did I get the job you ask? I was working one day and Kevin approached me about doing a summer morning show w/him. Kev and I always have a blast talking about shows we’ve seen in the past and music in general. In fact we were at some of the same shows like Mick Taylor @ the Palomino in No.Hollywood, but didn’t know each other. When he asked me to do a show with him, it just seemed natural. I got a bug to do my own show. I said to myself, SELF, you hoard a bunch of unheard music, you need to share all this great music w/ the masses. DEEP TRACKS was born. Playing not only b-sides, but c-sides! Stuff you never hear, unless you’re a music nerd like me. Playing everything from Etta James,Puscifer,Sneaker Pimps,PJ Harvey,rare Rolling Stones,KISS,Peeping Tom,Propellerheads, Luscious Jackson and even Michael Jackson. YES, that’s right, I said M.J.!?
	DJ Treez Positive Vibrations Thursday: 8-10:00pm On Air Talent Contact: DJ Treez AKA Shannon has lived in Truckee for 7 years. He is an avid Snowboarder and Mt. Biker and enjoys the Tahoe lifestyle.

Currently, he is hosting Positive Vibrations which is Truckee/Tahoe’s only local show featuring Reggae, Dancehall and then some. His music is new and progressive; he plays the well known hits as well as up and coming unsigned/independent artists that email him their new songs each week. There is always music that is fresh and brand new.
	Chuckie Dunn Choose Blues Hour Saturday-Sunday: 4-5:00pm Presented by Roxanne Duffield, State Farm Agent On Air Talent Contact: Working at KTKE was quite by accident. Always listening to the radio, but never behind the mic. It has been a great opportunity to be able to play the songs I like without having someone looking over my shoulder telling me what to do. Being local and independent truly is a wonderful thing. I have been playing in bands since I was 13 years old and music has always been my thing. I got into the Blues about15 years ago with a band called The Blues Monsters and have been very fortunate to hook-up with some of the best players in the area. I would say my roots really go back to country music as my mother was a big country fan and a great harmony singer. That’s where I got into vocals then picked up the guitar and keyboards later in life. I am hoping to stay in radio for a long while, but it IS radio so who knows. Until then I will just keep on doing what I think I do best and that is play the songs that no one really hears on the radio. All the great artist that don’t get that BIG BREAK and have more talent than alot of the ones that do. So please tune into “Chuckie Dunn’s Choose Blues Hour and enjoy the music.

	JD HOSS Fear Leader/Powder Patrol/On Air Talent Contact: My position at 101.5FM has changed over the years since the station has started.
