Larry Masco: Larry J. was raised on a ranch in Pagosa Springs, Colorado where he spent many hours bucking bales, fixing fences and chasing cattle.

After high school, Larry spent 5 years at B.Y.U. and graduated with a western American history degree. After a 2-year LDS mission in Mexico, he began working in radio broadcasting in southern Colorado.

Darcie Dickinson: Darcie joined the staff in 1999, and brought with her years of speaking experience and quick wit. From her ethnic grandparents in Pennsylvania, she learned at a young age to respond with fast comebacks, which has come in very handy when KMTI began searching for someone to co-host the morning show with Larry J. Coming from a small town in Pennsylvania, she thoroughly enjoys living in rural Utah, although, she's still getting accustomed to the seasonal wind-changing smells of Central Utah. Darcie enjoys her family, hot rods, working with boy scouts, and keeping the guys at work in line. You can hear Darcie weekday mornings from 7am to 9am.

Michael Traina: Michael began his radio career as a sports "nut", and continues that designation today. After growing up with a love of soft rock, Mike saw the light and was baptized country after hearing Charlie Daniels "Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues" during the mid 80's while working at a car wash in St. Louis, Missouri. After picking up the country bug, Mike had to move to a more accommodating atmosphere, hence Central Utah. Mike has been working the Mid-day Show on KMTI since 1995. You can listen to the mid-day show with Michael weekdays from 11am to 2pm.
