10 Questions with ... Ken AugeBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
In 1987 I walked into KDWD in Burlington, IA on a Sunday afternoon and asked if I could make a tape. The guy had me read some news copy and hired me on the spot to work Sundays. It turns out he wasn’t blown away as much as he was the GM who was covering the shift and just wanted it off of his plate. A couple months later KBKB in nearby Fort Madison hired me to work full-time overnights. From there it was WIXX in Green Bay for about a year until I got the chance to do mornings and music at WTBX in Hibbing, MN. I then went to WOZZ in Appleton to do mornings and was the station’s PD for part of that time. After a brief stint at WQLH in Green Bay, I went to work for Saga at WYXY in Springfield, IL in 1997. Two years later they brought me to Star in Des Moines for mornings. I’ve been here since and added the PD job in April of 2019.
