One former and one current Great Bend Eagle Radio employee accepted
their awards this week at the Kansas Association of Broadcasters (KAB) Convention
in Wichita.
Former Great Bend radio personality, John O'Connor, won the 2021 Sonny Slater
Award for Service to Station and Community through the KAB.
The Sonny Slater Award was established in 1992 to honor Sonny Slater and to
recognize a Kansas broadcaster, who is not an owner or general manager, for
long-time service to his or her station and community.
O’Connor spent nearly 40 years entertaining, informing and educating Central
Kansas as the Voice of the Golden Belt at Eagle Radio in Great Bend.
Eagle Radio of Great Bend was also represented by Scott Donovan, the 2021
winner of the Mike Oatman Award for Broadcast Sales Excellence.
Donovan started his radio career in July of 1983 as a nighttime radio DJ. He is
currently the Director of Sales and after 33 years he just retired as the
Morning Personality on 100.7 Eagle Country KHOK.
