Friday night before the Keith Frank Concert, Orange Mayor Larry Spears along with Mayor Pro Tem Paul Burch presented KOGT’s Gary Stelly with a Key to the City.
Mayor Spears said, “Gary Stelly has been the Voice of Orange on KOGT. Whether you wanted to listen to the game or get a score, what was going on with the latest storm, who was on the honor roll, or who stole the car last week, you could find out by listening to KOGT 1600.”
KOGT Radio closed Dec. 31, 2021, but KOGT.com continues to be the news source for the greater Orange area.
Stelly said, “All we’ve ever wanted to do was serve the area. When I worked for KOGT as a teenager, every time the previous owners said they had to cut back, it was the news and sports department that was cut. In my opinion that was the only way for us to be successful. It was our niche on a very busy radio dial.”
“I want to thank the mayor and the city for this honor. When you’re in the people business, it’s especially nice to be recognized.”
