Ask anyone, they'll tell you: "Denny is a living legend. Need you know more?" Cut it out, you guys!!!! But it's true. I have been on the radio a long, long time, the past 25+ years on KYSS FM. I love the country radio listening audience. They are genuine, polite, appreciative and friendly. I also love the ebb and flow of music styles that country music seems to experience. But you know what? I really don't care what music format I'm working. I'll embrace it because that is obviously what the listener likes or they wouldn't be listeners. In my spare time (hah!) I enjoy golf, fishing and anything University of Montana football and basketball. I am the public address announcer for both the Griz and Lady Griz basketball teams, a job I love. Besides KYSS FM, my other broadcast duties include directing the statewide hunting and fishing program, the Montana Outdoor Radio Show, heard on over 25 radio stations throughout Montana.
