Kent Hopper is a Broadcast Personality who has been serving the Central Valley for 48 years. A graduate of the Don Martin School of Radio and Television Arts and Science in Los Angeles, he began his career in 1970 at Hanford’s KNGS, AM 620. Although he started off as the late night show host, it didn’t take long for the powers that be to recognize that they had something special in Hopper, and in 1972 he made his debut as Hopper in the Morning on that same station.

Regarding his new venture, Hopper will bring his many years of experience, his professionalism and community connections, and his wit and sense of humor so that listeners get the same great experience as always. With his son, Kyle, serving as the podcast's engineer, listeners know to always expect a quality production. Hopper says, “I hope people will listen and support the podcast, and know that Hopper is back and is here for you, Tulare County!”
