 Meet Johnny

Playing great music from the 60’s and 70’s was the only thing that could lure Johnny Kincaid back to the airwaves after a 12 year break from radio and he’s enjoying every minute of it.

Kincaid grew up listening to top-40 radio in the Pacific Northwest and applied for his radio license before receiving his driver’s permit. By the time he graduated high school he had moved from weekends to full-time night disc jockey on his hometown AM Top 40 station.

In 1984 he was hired to do mornings on WKDQ (before the station became the country music giant it is today) and decided that Evansville was a great place to live.

Now, in addition to what he calls his “on-air therapy sessions,” he works as a tobacco prevention specialist at Smokefree Communities. Johnny also loves to spend time with his wife, Jill, and volunteers in prison ministry.

 Johnny's Interests

General: Prayer is a biggie with me. I even started a website called Pray4Evansville.com and I'm using the site to bring prayer groups together.  After my relationship with the Lord comes my family and friends. I also enjoy all things electronic (but don't call me a geek). I'm also involved in prison ministry and will lead a team of 55 men on a 3 day missions trip inside Wabash Valley Correctional Facility on Labor Day weekend.

Music: Obviously, I'm very passionate about the Superhits. I've always enjoyed the Beatles, Motown, and beach music.

Television: I've given up on the broadcast networks and watch Food Network and Discovery a lot instead. On Friday nights, I'm parked in front of the TV to watch Monk and Psych.

Movies: We don't get to the theater as much as I'd like to. In fact I missed every movie that I wanted to see this summer. All time favorite movies include Field of Dreams and Fried Green Tomatoes.

It's time to get progressive in our thinking. Major cities fund their stadiums with sponsorships. So why not apply that same principle here? Let's generate some much needed cash for the local government by selling a sponsorship on those cooling towers at the Civic Center.

The towers lend themselves perfectly to a soft drink company... How about RC Cola. The Civic Center could be referred to as trhe "RC Cola Civic Center." Just a suggestion, Mr. Mayor, one that would show Evansville to be a progressive city.
