Katie London
Afternoons
Katie is a recent graduate of Texas A&M University-Commerce, with a B.S. in Radio and Television.  Her calling for radio came at a very early age, when teacher comments on her report card consistently indicated that she would "talk too much".  As a university student, Katie volunteered her time at KETR on the morning show, which evolved into becoming your weekday Afternoon Drive host.  Her overwhelming passion for music assists in keeping you informed about many of the artists you hear on 88.9 KETR.
