Jon Prell

I have been at WKDQ for 13 years and have loved every minute of it. My career started in Southern California and I arrived in Evansville in 1994. I have three children that keep me very busy and the rare opportunity to go out and not have a six foot mouse serving your table is a rare and welcome treat. I love motorcycles and classic country and even host the WKDQ Country Classics show every Saturday from 6-10am. If I can I can ever play a song for you, let me know at wkdq.com.

I don't even fish and I want one of these! Fishing has always been one of the most popular and relaxing leisure activities that has at least some appeal for almost everyone.

Watch A Skydiver Almost Collide With The Plane He Just Jumped Out Of – Nope!
