Mornings

I've been holding on to a big secret for the last year: I am leaving KSLG. My official last day is August 10th. I have always been a person of action, and as the years have progressed, I've realized talking is not enough for me. There have been other aspirations that I have been working up to during my tenure on KSLG. My love of the outdoors and helping people has been the momentum driving me forward. 

KSLG has taught me a lot. Since 2015, I've been program director, music director, promotions manager, production assistant, as well as a broadcaster (all these jobs at once, mind you). It's given me the confidence to effectively communicate, lead by example, share my love of music, and build relationships with the community that I never thought I would have the privilege of doing. I also have the best coworkers. I am proud of my time here.
I thank you for your ears. If you learned something, laughed, cried, cringed, hell, even if I drove you nuts, then I did my job. I've always believed that if you are given a voice, you shouldn't waste it on unimportant superfluous stuff, but balance it between the "informative" and "entertainment" spectrum. Local radio stations are like unicorns, and Humboldt has a paddock of them!


Having been able to serve this community has been an honor.

Thanks- Nikki
