Don & Sue Kohn

Don & Sue Kohn purchased KESM AM & FM in 1985. Within the first two weeks of ownership, the Kohn's added stereo. They also increased the FM power from 3000 to 6000 watts. KESM has a 100% digital stereo sound. KESM is proud to be "The Voice of the Bulldogs & Buffaloes" and "Your Daily News Source". Don & Sue are proud to make El Dorado Springs their home for the last 23 years. Don is semi-retired and enjoys going to auctions. Sue is very active as the board President of the El Dorado Springs Friends of the Library, Inc. And they both enjoy spending time with their 5 grandchildren. So the next time you see them, ask to look at their pictures. When it comes to music, Don knows his stuff! He enjoys almost every genre of music, and loves to share his passion for music with everyone. There isn't a day that goes by when Don isn't sampling music in his office. And when I say music...anything goes. He enjoys classic country, Broadway show tunes, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett & Bobby Darin. You can even catch him singing tunes by Gretchen Wilson and Hot Apple Pie. Next to Christmas, Don's favorite time of the year is Picnic time! He never misses a minute of the El Dorado Springs Founder's Day Picnic. You can always find him in the park, under the canopy, of the KESM broadcast booth. And every year, on the Monday after the Picnic, you can hear him say, "I don't know how they did it, but that was the best picnic ever!"
