This is a story of absolute determination; the story of a rock jock who had the world by the tail — until he didn’t — and then what he did to live life at its fullest despite having been dealt a bad hand regarding his health.
Kim Curry was a radio broadcaster for 33 years in some of America’s finest cities, a DJ in different time slots, and the Program Director of two of America’s legendary stations; KTSA-AM San Antonio and Power 96, Miami.
Curry was a broadcaster in the days when ownership was limited to seven AM and seven FM radio stations, before radio’s corporate takeover.
Creative freedom and owner trust led to huge ratings as a DJ, consistently scoring the highest ratings in his timeslot. As Program Director, “Kid” Curry led Power 96 to ratings never before seen in the station’s history and achieved the most significant cumulative audience in the Southeast United States.
In 2005, Kim Curry was forced into retirement from the radio business after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Now, he’s the author of the book, “Come Get Me Mother, I’m Through!”
