Kelly Faglie was one of the many people who worked at KVOU 104.9 FM and shared her response to the radio station closing its doors.
“I do not know all the circumstances surrounding the radio station going off air, but I am just as disappointed as everyone else knowing the voice of Uvalde has gone silent. KVOU is a part of Uvalde’s rich history and I was blessed to work at the station for a short period of time. I enjoyed interviewing a wide range of people from recording artists, business owners, elected officials, non-profit volunteers, students and Uvalde’s very own young local recording artists like Trey Wilson and Camille Sanders Jeffcoat.
My favorite interview was Tommy Cash, the younger brother of Johnny Cash who sent me a cookbook with the Cash’s favorite family recipes. A crucial part of a local radio station is the opportunity it provides for sharing information and keeping the community up to date on local events, news, current affairs and emergency situations such as severe weather conditions, fires and highway accidents.
hat I appreciated most about working at the radio station was correction its ability that allowed me to keep the community connected and informed. I hope the silence is temporary and somehow the station will find its voice again. Faglie said
Faglie is the owner of Faglie Construction and very involved in the Uvalde community.
