8:00 P.M. - 1:00 A.M. with Lia Knight:
Way back in the late 60’s, in a small little Kentucky town, I came screaming into this world. My mom,
a Southern Belle housewife, and my dad, a farmer, bar owner, janitor, banjo picker, had finally had
enough kids. I was the last of four and, believe me, I think I was the reason they didn’t want
anymore! I grew up in an even smaller town in Kentucky, with not much to do there but plug my
ears while my dad tried to pick his banjo and run through the sprinklers on a hot summer’s day. I was
Daddy’s Little Girl. Even though I hated that banjo, I loved my dad. The hardest thing I ever went
through in my life was the death of my dad. That was 1983, when I was only fifteen. Too much for a
young girl to take! I left Kentucky, my family, my friends and my life behind and moved hundreds of
miles cross-country to be with my oldest sister, Connie (my role model, best friend and confidante),
and her husband. I finished school and, purely by accident, I got into Country radio. As far as this
show goes, I just want you to know that we all work very hard each night to put this thing together.
I’m so lucky to have such a great couple of guys to work with.
