KNIX’s morning duo, Ben and Matt, hosted the Parada del Sol Pro Rodeo and Historic Parade in Scottsdale Saturday. The parade, which as taken place for 57 years, began at 10am and runs up Scottsdale Road from Oak to Indian School.
Ben and Matt were aboard a float. Hosts were scattered among intersections along the way, including Radio Free Phoenix’s Liz Boyle and Andy Olson at Scottsdale Road and Osborn, and a reunion of the KDKB morning team, Bill Andres and John Giese, at Scottsdale Road and Indian School.

Actually, Ben and Matt were aboard a float. John Giese and I announced closest to Scottsdale Road and Indian School. Despite the rain, it was fun as always!

IT’S NICE TO SEE A LITTLE RESPECT FOR THE RICH TRADITION OF RADIO BROADCASTING IN THE PHOENIX AREA. I WAS PROUD TO BE A PART OF IT FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS. I’LL NEVER FORGET MY EXPERIENCES WITH SOME OF THE GREATS OR THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE US… THE REAL PIONEERS LIKE; THE ORIGINAL TONY EVANS, DON LINCOLN, RON EDWARDS, LUCKY LAWRENCE AND AL MCCOY.
