Breckenridge Texan

KLXK and KROO radio stations in Breckenridge celebrated two events last week — Lance Kitchens’ induction into the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame and the radio stations’ new location — with a recognition reception and ribbon cutting ceremony.

Over the past year, the radio station, which is owned by Terry and Kay Slavens’ For the Love of the Game Broadcasting, LLC, which also owns radio stations in Eastland, Ranger and Graham, has moved into the new location at 107 E. Dyer St., installed new signs and organized the new studio.

KLXK-FM 93.5 broadcasts the Breckenridge High School Buckaroo sporting events, which are announced by Kitchens, aka “The Voice of the Buckaroos.” Earlier this month, Kitchens received the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame’s Lifetime Achievement for Media award at a banquet in Abilene.

At the KLXK/KROO event on Wednesday, Kitchens, his family and radio co-workers greeted guests who stopped by for the reception.
