Dallas Huston
Dallas’ fondness and love for radio began in about 1960 while he was a student at Brownwood High School when a friend allowed him in the radio studio of KBWD-AM to learn the workings of a radio station. From that day Dallas has been associated with this radio station and has held many jobs including DJ, Program Director, News Director and Sports Director.
