Huston started in 1968 at WBIZ in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and moved up to WISN in Milwaukee. He came to Denver’s KHOW in 1986 and quickly became one of the most recognizable voices in town. In 1997 he moved to KOSI, where he stayed until he retired in 2024. He also hosted Colorado Lottery TV programming for about ten years.
