CHAD HILL
(M-F 6A-10A)
The Breakfast Club ringleader Chad Hill grew up in the Minneapolis area, and his heroes were the great radio DJs he heard in the 1970s and 1980s. After graduating from a backwater college with a degree he doesn't use, he got his first radio job in 1995, working weekends at a station in Fargo, ND. A few months later, he got promoted to weekday afternoons. He also learned to write and produce commercials. Later, he was the afternoon drive host and production director at a station in Fort Myers, FL. While his career has taken him through many adventures in other industries, he is thrilled and honored to have the chance to return to his roots in radio with the Ranch Radio Group. He moved to the Hill Country in 2016 and enjoys time with his four sons, three dogs, two cats, and a very patient wife of 25 years.

BOB HARMON (M-F 10A-3P)
Bob here! They asked me to write a little bio….so here it goes. I was borne and raised on the mean streets of southern California. Oh wait that was Ice T. Let’s start again. I was born and raised in a middle-class family in San Diego California. Graduated from Ridgemont High School (Yes, That Ridgemont High) and worked in a long line of jobs from a vending company, servicing pool tables and jukeboxes to working in a sheet metal fabrication shop and countless other jobs during my formative years.
​
My first job (or gig) in radio was in Conroe, Texas working 7 to midnight running a combination live show and taped programming. After leaving the Houston area I went to work at Magic in San Antonio. During the decade I spent there, I mostly held down the night show while working various shifts and learning the fine art of producing commercials. My last gig before arriving here on The River was in Gainesville, Florida (birthplace of Tom Petty, and home of the University of Florida Gators) doing commercial production and hosting a popular weekend show.
​
Now, after all my travels; I find myself back in Texas, here on The River every day from 10 am until 2 pm. Hopefully we’ll share a few laughs, and who knows if we’re not careful we both might learn a thing or two.
Ryan Stone
(M-F 3P-7P)
Ryan Stone is what you would call a 'Radio Guy". That's all he knows....
He's been in the biz 21 years mainly in the Austin area. When not doing radio, he enjoys sunsets, long walks in the park... photography and fast European cars. Mama raised him right. That means he was brought up listening to good music. He played guitar in bands during high school and enjoys live music. Coming from the city, he's happier than ever in the Hill Country. Catch him weekday afternoons from 3 to 7pm. Laugh with him or at him, either way works.
Rob Savage
(M-F 7P-10P)
In the early 1980's, Rob's family would frequently tell him "you'll never get a real job if you don't stop talking so much." Well, fast forward a few decades and he's still talking.....and for some reason, we even gave him a microphone here at The River.
​
Honestly, Rob parlayed his gift of gab into an award winning 3 - decade on-air radio career.
What awards you might ask? Co-Employee of the month in 1999 at a tiny Country radio station in North Texas AND a 3rd place finish at the 2006 Halloween Costume Contest at another radio station in parts unknown. Rob also wanted us to mention that he was awarded a $5 Dairy Queen gift card with that 3rd place finish too…which he described as “Pretty flippin’ sweet.”
Rob brings his beautiful wife of 31 plus years, their 4 GROWN children and a complete lack of grandchildren to the gorgeous Texas Hill Country.
​
Catch After Hours with Rob, Monday through Friday from 7-10pm on The Hill Country’s Greatest Hits, The River 106.1.
