Brad Kyle

After a 14-year radio career that started in the late '70s  as a DJ, production director and program director in commercial radio, Brad Kyle spent several years in business operations supporting the tech sector before he resumed his broadcast career when he joined the KCBX air staff in February, 2021. You can hear Brad regularly host KCBX midday programs, and he subs occasionally as the local host on Morning Edition, All Things Considered and weekends. In addition, Brad is the KCBX operations assistant, working behind the scenes on our logs, production, our automation system, and more.

Brad is also the host of KCBX's roots and Americana show Across The Tracks on Thursday evenings from 8:00-10:00. It's Brad's 4th stint in a country format but by far the most expansive one, encompassing traditional country, alt-country, rockabilly and whatever feels right in the moment to play for modern ears.

He is a musician as well, and the band he founded 15 years ago,  Dr. Danger, is a two-time SLO New Times Music Award-winner for Best Blues and R&B recording for two of his original compositions. Brad is also the co-host of a local show on another community station with his wife Melanie. He enjoys gardening and live music events in his spare time.
