Paul Mushaben

I moved to Montana in 1979 from Cincinnati, Ohio. I started doing play-by-play in 1982 in Billings. I began working at my current job in December 1985 and have never left. I have been on Cat Country mornings since the show started in March 1988. In addition to my on-air job, I own and operate a wheat and cattle ranch north of Billings. I am most proud of my four children.

Half Time Shows: Where are the Good Acts?
I don't get the selection process for the halftime show during the Super Bowl. Most people over 35 could not sing along with a Maroon 5 or Big Boi song. Why not get some iconic figures like Bruce Springsteen or Elton John etc? They have broad appeal and are known throughout the world...
Groundhog Day
It's Groundhog Day tomorrow. You know, the one about six more weeks of winter or an early spring? I don't know what's going to happen, but I noticed Mark's beard is thicker than normal. Looks like another cold snap coming, so get ready now...
I’m Split: Beer at Amateur Sporting Events?
The Montana Legislature is considering a bill to allow beer at amateur sporting events. It would lower the requirements for seating and also lower the permit cost. It could help raise revenue for things like legion baseball etc. but also elevate the number of rambunctious fans in attendance...
Governor Bullock Should Be Ashamed
Governor Bullock knew about a sexual harasser and didn't say anything. In fact, he covered for him to get him another job in which he sexually harassed another woman until he was fired by Mayor DeBlasio of New York. What happened to our champion of women...
