Robert Chase
I was born in Springfield, Illinois, it's where I first cracked a microphone on-air in the Fall of 1978. I went on to represent and collect call letters at KILO-94 & KRCC in Colorado Springs, CO; WLAV in Grand Rapids, MI, and in Chicago, IL at WKQX/Q101, and WXRT. In 2002 I moved to Bozeman, MT for 2 years at The Moose, then settled in Missoula, MT taking the helm as Program Director of KDTR-The Trail 103.3 in 2005.
I host The Morning Trail weekdays 7a-Noon. The show begins, at 7, with The Trails Morning Moment of Levity, a comedy bit from legendary to lesser known comedians getting the day started with a laugh. The segment repeats each morning at 9.
I take pride delivering news with a strong focus on local stories relevant to me, my neighbors, and the community.
Each morning at 8:30 it's Chase's Choice when I feature a song from a new release, most of the featured albums are on sale during the week at Rockin' Rudy's.
Through the week I kickoff New Tracks on The Trail Tuesday, Win It Wednesday, and Vinally Friday. Seasonally, The Morning Trail presents, at 7:50 Thursday & Friday, The Trail Ski & Snowboard Report, and The Trail River Report, and Friday at 7:20 The Trail Fishing Report. I put the spotlight on a Trail Track, a song from deep in The Trails archive, each morning at 9:30.
I enjoy fly fishing, snowboarding, windsurfing, soaking in hot springs, local breweries, and hunting for records to add to my collection of 50+ years.
I appreciate your listenership. THANK YOU!
