The city chose July 15 as Bob Knight Day because that will be his 76th birthday.
Knight is one of the co-owners of Mountain Lakes Broadcasting Corp. and serves as president and general manager of KTLO AM 1240 and KTLO FM 97.9, KCTT Classic Hits 101.7 and KBOD 99.7 The Boot. He also hosts the KTLO FM morning show, helping thousands of listeners get out of bed and get their days started.

The city’s proclamation reads in part, “We have been waking up to Bob’s voice in the Twin Lakes Area on KTLO for over 40 years. Not only is he that familiar voice on the radio, but he is a pillar in this community that we want to recognize.”
