I started 97 Rock in October, 1994. Almost exactly 20 years later I've come home to rock you out 3-7 p.m. I was born and raised in Yakima and have been in radio for 31 years.

Wednesday, Goodell told "CBS This Morning" neither he nor any other NFL official had seen the video of Ray Rice hitting his then-fiance Janay Palmer in the Atlantic City hotel before it was released to the public two days ago.

Spokane Auto Mechanic Inspiring Nation to Learn CPR
Did you hear about this? Earlier in the week a one month old baby went into cardiac arrest while the family was shopping. They took it inside a store and called 9-11.
