Storm Kennedy | Morning Co-Host

A native Eugenean and graduate of South Eugene High School, Kennedy has two children, Madison and Wyatt, who, she says, are the greatest joys in her life.
Ryan Goff | Morning Sports Anchor
Ryan’s passion for sports and radio makes him a perfect fit for the KUGN Sports Cave.
After moving from Montana in 2001, he enters his 11th year as a play-by-play broadcaster and studio personality. In addition to following high school sports from Ashland to Portland and Coos Bay to Baker City, Ryan has been a voice for the Oregon Sports Network, OSAA Radio Network and two NAIA schools.
Only his wife, Briana, has been able to gain more affection from Ryan than the Denver Broncos. As a season ticket holder, he finds time to fly back and watch them between enjoying Oregon’s “awesomeness”; going to the coast, snowboarding in the mountains and enjoying Eugene’s beer and wine flavors with his friends occupy his time when not at a sporting event.

Mark Raney| News at 5 Co-Host
Mark has a passion for radio! He's spent 17 of his 33 years in the radio business here in Eugene. He currently splits his on-air duties between KUGN and sister station 96.1 KZEL. Over the years, he's worked on all types of formats (from news to rock to country) in cities all around the country (from Anchorage and Phoenix to Houston and Portland).
Mark is a long time Portland Trailblazer fan. He says he also loves his College Hill Home (which he shares with his wife Sandy), his church (United Lutheran), puttering around in the yard, traveling, spending money, and discovering the unusual and then commenting on it to anyone who will listen.
A Eugene native, Eric loves living and working in the Willamette Valley. He's been an eager news buff since day one, starting his own neighborhood newspaper at the age of 10. That journalistic hunger has only grown since then; now he hosts KUGN's afternoon news broadcast.
In his spare time, Eric likes to hike, ski, play softball and the acoustic bass, travel, snorkel, go to concerts, listen to the radio, and learn new things.
Ever wonder who voices KUGN's announcements, promos, and ID's? That voice is veteran Seattle broadcaster, Tom Hutyler.
Tom has been in the radio industry for over 30 years, having begun while still in high school in his native Spokane. In 2003, Tom joined the staff of KOMO Newsradio, anchoring sports in the afternoon. Since 2005, he has served as that station's morning sports anchor.
He has also been the 'Voice of Safeco Field' for Mariner baseball since 1987.
Tom lives in West Seattle with Terri, his wife of 30 years, and they have three children. He enjoys traveling, golfing, bowling and, you guessed it...BASEBALL!
