HISTORY AND MISSION STATEMENT OF KQKI
KQKI has come from the newest and most amateur operation
In St. Mary Parish to the local radio station with the finest,
most professional and most community oriented staff in the parish.
KQKI has an air staff with over 75 years experience,
A station manager who also serves as News Director with 31 years experience,
A sales staff with 30 years of radio experience,
And an
OWNER
with 35 plus years of radio experience,
KQKI also has a Radio Marketing Master on staff.
On
December 31, 1976 When KQKI signed on the air we began operating
as a little 3,000 watt Class "A" Radio Station.
In 1990 the FCC informed KQKI that it was eligible to increase power
to 16,500 watts with a 420 foot tower, As a Class "C-3" Radio Station.
On September 29, 1995, We finally realized our dream
and began operating with our new transmitter and tower.
We have developed from a radio
station with little credibility
into the station that listeners tune to when the need information
KQKI was the first station back on the air after Hurricane Andrew,
And during the first week we were the information point for the parish.
We ate and slept at the station for the first few days,
And with the help of the Air National Guard were able to keep area residents
in St. Mary, Assumption and St. Martin Parishes informed
about shelters, food, ice, fuel
and emergency services on a 24 hour basis.
Our radio
station has one of the best group of employees
that can be found in a small market radio in this country.
Many of KQKI's former employees have become successful
as managers, salespeople, and on air personalities.
According to one former employee, who is the manager of a
large market station; "If you want to learn radio, KQKI is the place
you will learn it." Each person who has been employed by KQKI,
Has been hired for his ability or for his perceived potential.
There are approximately 42,000 people in St. Mary Parish over the age of 12.
KQKI is
rated by Arbitron as the St. Mary Parish radio station
With the greatest number of listeners each year since 1978.
