Carolina Newsmakers

Sundays 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.

A weekly public affairs program featuring stories that affect our day-to-day lives – from the local economy to crime to social programs to taxes and education.

Hosted by Don Curtis, Carolina Newsmakers provides a platform for influential people to tell their stories in their own words.

Sponsored by Aspire Money Management

Meet Don Curtis

In 1957, fifteen-year-old Don Curtis walked into the studios of WKMT in Kings Mountain and applied for a job as a weekend announcer. The audition test tape is still in his possession, and according to Curtis, “It was terrible.”

While he didn’t get the part-time announcing job, the owner of the station told Curtis he would sell him an hour each week which Curtis could re-sell to the merchants of his hometown in Bessemer City which didn’t have a radio station. Curtis discovered that he could sell the time for more than he paid each week, and that was the beginning of his broadcast management career.
