Kelly Turner has been broadcasting to audiences in southwestern Colorado and the Four Corners region for 34 years. Kelly attended Dove Creek High School and graduated from Montezuma-Cortez High School. While a junior at MCHS, Kelly was offered the weekend overnight slot on KRTZ Radio. After college, Kelly came back to Cortez, was offered a part-time newscaster position, then worked his way up to news director, sports director, program director, station manager, general sales manager, general manager and is now the regional director of operations for Hutton Broadcasting’s nine stations in southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. Even after nearly 3½ decades of broadcasting, Kelly points out that he is still very much a “student” of the industry.
