Kory Knight was a Colorado Springs CHR/rhythmic personality who worked for two rival stations, 96.1 The Beat and 98.9 Magic FM. If you flipped between them in the mid-2000s, you may have heard Kory on both.
The Beat and Magic FM
In March 2005, Kory left nights at WXKS-FM (Kiss 108) in Boston to take afternoons at KIBT (96.1 The Beat), and later worked nights there. In February 2006, KKMG (98.9 Magic FM) hired the former Beat night personality for weekend and swing work. A KKMG Magic 98.9 aircheck of Kory dated July 25, 2006 is preserved in the Big Apple Airchecks catalog.
His own biography lists his Colorado Springs work as afternoons at 96.1 The Beat, nights at 98.9 Magic FM, and weekend and fill-in work at KKPK (92.9 The Peak), KATC (95.1) and KKMG.
After Colorado Springs
Kory later spent five years at Bonneville in Sacramento, doing afternoons on KYMX and nights on KZZO, and by March 2020 he had left that company.
