WEEKDAYS 10:00am-2:00pm

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. Bringing rock to the St. Louis airwaves since 1968, Radio Rich was playing new cuts of music at the height of their popularity which are, indeed, the same songs you currently hear on KHITS-96 today! Chances are that you have met or seen Rich in person at one of the thousands of public appearances he has made over the years. If not, maybe you remember him from the front cover of Rolling Stone magazine or onstage as the guitarist for The Classics Band or The Fourth Row. 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!
