FEBRUARY 7, 2026 HOUR 3: This hour is a radio history hang with in-studio guest Steve Keeney, a behind-the-scenes legend of Denver radio. Peter and Steve swap stories about how they both stumbled into the business, early days in radio, crazy career breaks, and how stations actually used to run before everything went corporate and high-tech. They dig into old Denver stations, legendary personalities, management mistakes, ownership shakeups, and what local radio used to feel like when it was truly local. The highlight is Steve walking through how iconic ideas like the KIMN Chicken actually came to life — messy, risky, and completely unplanned — plus why that kind of creativity barely exists anymore.
