When man and machine collide, you get "Radio Rich" Dalton of KHITS-96! Rich is wired to recall obscure facts, dates, and words, as well as entertain the St. Louis rock community.

Whatever the case, "Radio Rich" Dalton has been, and will remain, a permanent fixture in the rock and roll world! Rich punches in each day 10AM and leads the K-HITS workforce through the midday!
