Our Shows

Born and raised in Arkansas, Bobby Bones began his radio career at Henderson State University’s KSH 91.1 The Switch at the age of 17, where he graduated with a degree in Radio/TV.  During that time, he also worked at KLAZ 105.9 in Hot Springs, Ark., as a part-time air talent.  In 2002, Bones was hired by Q100/KQAR in Little Rock, Ark., and The Bobby Bones Night Show was born.  The following year, he moved to Austin, Texas, where he began hosting The Bobby Bones Show Monday through Friday from 5-10 a.m. CT on 96.7 KISS FM.  Joined on-air by Lunchbox and Amy, they attracted listeners in droves, as well as top rankings in the market.  For his work on the program, Bones was named “Austin Radio Personality of the Year” in 2009, 2010, and 2011, and Austin’s Alliance of Women in Media honored the program with their “Radio Personality of the Year” award seven years in a row.

I’m a fourth generation Montanan, born in Libby and raised in Missoula. I’m a University of Montana alumni, where I studied Journalism/R-TV production, History and vocal performance (yes, I can sing!) I have been on the radio in my hometown for 25 years now.  In fact, it will be 25 years on my birthday in 2017!  Lucky me!

I like pretty much every type of music out there and I’ve always loved radio. I used to call and bother the dj’s to play my favorite songs. And, I would listen late at night to whatever stations I could pick up, recording them on my cassette recorder and imagining that one day I’d be on the radio as well.  The best thing about it for me is laughing every day! Also, sharing information in the form of news and trivia. I love the “community” of a radio audience, and getting to know people and helping people through that community. Most of all I enjoy laughing, and making other people laugh.  The music is like icing on the cake.  It’s really the best job ever and I’m grateful for it!

Besides radio, I love to read and write essays and poems, I enjoy playing the piano, watching the Denver Broncos and San Francisco Giants, and I enjoy being outside in beautiful Montana! I appreciate a tasty beer and there are so many good ones to choose from!   And of course, I love spending time with the Milkman and our family and friends that includes four dogs (two large, two small) and a bird.

My life’s an open book but I’m pretty sure the novel wouldn’t sell.

I grew up in tiny Acton, Indiana, a one-horse town so small that the horse is a Shetland pony. I don’t have a family tree; I have ivy with all the steps and half-siblings. I was a little of everything growing up — athlete, brainiac, band kid, choir boy — all rolled into one. I am a graduate of Culver Military Academy and Butler University [Go Dawgs!]. I got my first shot on the radio at age 12 and have been hooked ever since.

I’ve lived and worked in a number of great places.  I have legitimately lost track of how many, but I love to travel so it’s all good.  I enjoy hiking, yet I’m also an Olympic-caliber porch sitter and bonfire watcher.  I love baseball, burgers, Bourbon, bacon, beagles, and lots of things that don’t start with the letter B.  Most of all, I love connecting with the real people in our community every single day.

So, until we get together again, best of health and luck and thanks for flying with 93-3 Eagle Country.

What did you want to be when you were 5? And really…what kid actually gets to be the astronaut, rockstar, explorer, or radio host?!? Whitney Allen, that’s who! Her parents bought her a red transistor radio (that she slept with under her pillow every night) and adopted her first cat, Thomasina (who slept with her every night.) That’s when she knew, it was radio or animals. Since she was better at talking than biology, she knew she was going to be on the radio. So at the age of 5, she set out to make it BIG.

When she’s not on the radio, or backstage at the biggest country concerts,  Whitney loves the outdoors, redecorating, napping, and Mexico. Her furry kids, Paloma, Mattie and Flue (the dogs), and her too many cats keep her busy. Luckily, even without a degree in veterinary medicine, with the power of radio, she still gets to help animals through different charities. And, in keeping her promise to never sound like the girl that wants to steal your boyfriend, she’s got a man of her own.
