Mark Wilson

I was born and raised in Great Falls and grew up listening to my dad on KMON AM where he was the morning guy. Dad also had a band that would practice at our house for the jobs they played almost every weekend. So, my exposure to country music was huge. At the State Fair in Great Falls in 1971, dad emceed all of the concerts, and I got to sit in the front row for Anne Murray, Glen Campbell, and the Carpenters. I started on KMON Great Falls shortly after high school then made my way to KYSS-FM in Missoula while I was in college. I worked for KGVO, Missoula, then on to KYSN-FM, East Wenatchee, Washington. I came to Billings in March of 1988 after Citadel Communications bought the 102.9 FM & AM970 signals and Cat Country was launched. I play golf and racquetball, neither very well.

My “Moving Day” Rules
There aren't many folks I'd help move anymore. But if you own a pickup and, God forbid, a trailer, you will, at some point, get asked to help somebody move.
Your Top Golf Courses in Montana
We got on the topic of favorite golf courses in Montana this morning, and I said, "the top 3," but, I can't narrow it that far down.
What I Want at My Funeral
I attended a couple of memorial services over the weekend. I've always felt that these services are a form of closure for loved ones, but are rarely a complete tribute to the one who is gone.
