Kevin McCarthy (radio)

Kevin McCarthy (radio)

Kevin McCarthy has been a radio-tv personality in north Texas since Gordon McLendon brought him to Dallas as part of the original staff of KNUS/99 in 1972. He spent 14 years as a top-rated talk show host on KLIF before leaving in 2001 to start his own business, a multi-media marketing company.

He hosts Dallas Digest (http://www.dallasdigest.com), an Internet news and message board (http://dallasdigestforum.com). He is also the "trusty sidekick" on the Jerry Reynolds Auto Advice show (http://carguyshow.com) on WBAP/820 AM radio (http://wbap.com) and does voice-overs for commercials, industrial videos and documentaries.

McCarthy developed his love for conversation while growing up working behind the soda fountain in his father’s drugstore just down the street from the courthouse in a small town in southeastern Kentucky.

McCarthy was a charter inductee into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame in 2002, a five–time winner of the Dallas Press Club’s “Katy” award for Best Talk Show in Texas and the 1995 American Women in Radio & Television’s Dallas-Fort Worth Radio Personality of the Year. He was the Reunion Arena Voice of the Dallas Mavericks for 20 years.

His wife, Yvonne, is an internationally ranked photographer/digital artist and a former symphony cellist. They live in suburban Dallas with their five rescue cats and one rescue dog.
