Rick Shane; Utah radio personality in Salt Lake City, for over 22 years. Born October 8, 1967 in Draper Utah. Went to Alta High School in Sandy Utah, and graduated 1986. Started his radio career in 1988 as an inturn for the "Jay Bird" morning show on KKAT "Kat Country 102 FM" under the ownership of Brown Broadcasting.

After spending over a year as morning show inturn the current producer was fired, and due to Rick Shane's creative writing and whit was hired on as morning show producer creating his own full time spot in radio. Rick Shane produced morning shows for John Marks, Cano & Krammer, and Cano & Simmons. Known as "The Morning Guys" This would be the morning show that would rock Utah with a record rating of 14.9 in adults 25-54. Rick wrote and sang every morning guy song including Magna Women, he did several call in voices to creat topic starters, upset listeners, and for the laughs. Rick also had to edit calls on the fly reel to reel while a song was playing. Example....We did a contest looking for someone that could say the pledge of alleagence, and due to the editing nobody won, and this drove people crazy. There were no computers, no internet, no cell phones, just raw talent & fun. KKAT was located at 455 East 400 South in downtown Salt Lake City. More to come....
