PUMPKINFEST is coming up this weekend at the Owensboro Sportscenter!  One of the most popular features of the festival each year is, most definitely, the HAMSTER BALLS!  And, Monday morning, those beloved BALLS made a stop at the WBKR studios during Jaclyn's midday show.  Naturally, we couldn't just have Jaclyn TALK about the HAMSTER BALLS!  No way!  We made her get inside one.  Ladies and gentlem

On Tuesday, I headed down to Nashville to broadcast live at The Grand Ole Opry.  It was a really special day at the Opry!  A star-studded line-up had gathered for George Jones' 80th birthday concert celebration.  The Oak Ridge Boys were there, Jamey Johnson, Alan Jackson, Pam Tillis and more were on hand to pay tribute to The Possum and I got the pleasure of listening to some of the rehearsal per

Saturday night's TASTE OF COUNTRY concert was a blast and there were thousands of JOSH TURNER fans on hand for the event!  Shortly before Josh took the stage, I came across some young ladies from Indiana who were PUMPED UP that they were about to see Josh in person!  Take and look and meet some hilarious and rabid fans of our TASTE OF COUNTRY headliner!

While I was on vacation, WBKR midday gal and my good friend, Jaclyn Graves, subjected her young 2-year-old daughter Carsyn to a grueling photo shoot in honor of her birthday.  Apparently, when you reach the Terrible 2's you are supposed to endure a photo layout for Elle magazine.  Now, Jaclyn will tell you that such photos are a rite of passage for female toddlers.  After all, she was raised by cr

This morning on The WBKR Waking Crew, we talked with my good buddy, Jason Koger, who issued a challenge to all of our WBKR listeners.  As some of you know, Jason lost both of his forearms and hands in a freak accident three-and-a-half years ago.  If you've seen Jason out and about since then, you may have seen him wearing his favorite t-shirt which says, "Look, ma!  No hands!"  Well, Jas

If Jaclyn can carry around her insane obsession with Luke Bryan and talk about it endlessly, I can now use this forum to share my obsession!  KELLY CLARKSON!!!  My favorite female singer and my favorite personality in music.  I love her music, love her attitude and love her approach to fame.  I also love how she can slip and out of country and pop music and make every hit single seem effortless. 

Have you ever watched that show on A&E called Hoarders?  It features EXTREME stories about obsessive-compulsive types who NEVER throw anything away.  Their homes become little mini-landfills . . . full of trash, totes, piles of clothing, food wrappers and, in some cases, animal hair and gunk!  The show is gnarly and I never in a million years thought I would find myself in the home of a real-l

Last Thursday, I continued one of my favorite annual WBKR traditions!  I headed up to Louisville to broadcast live, all day, from opening day at the Kentucky State Fair!  This year, I was able to do things I have never done at the fair before and it was all caught on camera...

Howdy, Gang.  Chad here.  So, you all know that I am sucker for dogs!  Last night, on America's Got Talent, a wrinkled, plump, and fiesty English bulldog walked onto stage and had me at 'Woof!"  Meet Gabe, who was invited to be a part of AGT's You Tube competition...

Howdy, Gang!  Chad here!  Jaclyn and I had a freaking blast yesterday at the Kenny Chesney Corona Pre-Party at Roberts Stadium.  We made a bunch of new friends, had some pretty awesome homemade cocktails (thanks to the Montgomery gals from Indy), got to chat on tv with WFIE and managed to work on our tans...

The 2011 Susan G. Komen Bowl for the Cure was held in Owensboro Thursday, August 4th and Friday, August 5th and, for the 3rd year in a row, WBKR was the presenting media sponsor for the event.  And, for the 3rd year in a row, the station sent teams to bowlers to Diamond Lanes South in the hopes 92.5 would be well represented in the land of strikes and spares.  Well, it didn't turn out that way!  Y

Last Saturday's BIG O MUSIC FEST was awesome and WBKR was proud to have MUDD RIVER UNION open the show!  MUDD RIVER won our big talent contest, The Battle For The Big O, and earned the right to take the stage and kick-off the festival that included Sarah Darling, Steve Holy, David Nail, Jake Owen, Colt Ford, Chris Young and Dierks Bentley...
