MEET THE KIX 106 CREW

CORTNEY LANPHEAR

Cortney Lanphear (“most people call me Cort!”) was born February 15, 1984 in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  She lives in Coal Hill and loves spending quality time with her family and fiancé.  She enjoys riding horses – especially her own - Tani! 

Cortney is an honor graduate of Johnson County Westside High School from 2002.  She continued her education at the University of the Ozarks, graduating in 2008, with a major in mass communications.  While in college, she was on the National Dean’s list and a member of the University’s television crew.  During this time, she was awarded a full time internship at KHBS/KHOG Channel 40/29.  She was also an active member and officer of Phi Beta Lambda, the University’s professional business organization where she earned 3^rd place in Computer Applications and 5^th place in Database Design and Applications at the State Leadership conference competitions. 

Cortney loves music and loves to sing – just ask her about her trip to New York City when she sang with a group in Carnegie Hall! “Radio is an obvious combination of my interests – music and technology!” 

In addition to her education, Cortney has several years of experience in radio.  She has worked for Clear Channel Communications, KZBB/B98 radio, in Fort Smith where she had an on-air shift on Sunday nights, and worked many community service outreach activities sponsored by the station.  During one of these activities, she actually got to meet and “hang out” with wrestling champion Hulk Hogan and his daughter!  She also worked a short while at KXIO during college as well as KARV in Russellville.  Now, she says, “I’m back at KIX 106 and this time, I’m staying!”
