Donny "Soul Finger" Brooks hit the St. Louis market in 1962, taking a short-lived job at WBBR in East St. Louis, moving quickly to KATZ the following year and becoming a star disc jockey there. His young, energetic approach to his shows made him extremely popular, and job offers from other markets followed.

In May, 1979 Jim began an 18 year stint in the KMOX sports department, where he served as morning drive sports anchor and hosted a variety of local and national sports talk shows.
     Jim moved to KTRS in February of 1996 and spent 10 years there as sports director.
     He was honored by the Missouri Broadcasters in four different decades for his work.

William Hopkins
     William A. Hopkins came to KXOK in 1965. During his six-year run at the station his afternoon drive show, in which he counted down the market's top hits, drew a larger audience than 50,000 watt competitor KMOX.

In 1976, she was hired as a talk show host at KMOX where she stayed until her retirement in 1993. Her work there soon earned her the honorary title of "dean of women radio reporters" in the region. She was honored for that work by the Missouri Press Women and Missouri Bar Association. She was also the recipient of a Peabody Award and two Armstrong Awards.

Ray Otis
     Shortly after Ray Otis took over as host of the KXOK morning show, it became the top morning show in the market. Another one of the deep-voiced guys on the Big 630's airwaves during the heyday of the 60s, Otis began his eight-year stint here in 1962. His affable on-air approach led to regular appearances on his show by St. Louis Mayor A.J. Cervantes and many others.
     Schooled in programming by Myron Jones and the famed Storz men, Jack Thayer and Harvey Glasscock, Ray Otis became KXOK's program director.
     Otis left St. Louis for a job at WNEW-AM in New York. He also hosted a network show.
