Lindzey got into the radio business at 18, right out of high school as her attempt to dodge college, no really it was because she loves music, however, she can’t sing a note and never learned to play an instruments, but she has always loved to learn about bands and different genres of music. Lindzey says radio gave her the opportunity to be around music even if it was just talking about it. Lindzey is a concert junky, she loves live music and the atmosphere of being in a stadium or venue listening to her favorite songs played right in front of her, it has always been an escape for her. She loves Alternative Rock and her favorite song is Creep by Stone Temple Pilots.

A message from Lindz, “I have two amazing boys. My oldest shy and really into sports. My youngest is outgoing and into anything that is wild and wacky. I’m married to a wonderful husband who I’ve been with almost as long as I’ve been working here at MyTown Media which means we had a lot of dates in a studio playing cards while I was board op’ing high school football / basketball games when we first met.  We also have a cat named “Silver” who is the queen of our house and knows it.”

When asked about her favorite sports team, “Depends, if my husband and boys are asking me, because then it’s the Kansas City Chiefs. If they’re not around then it’s the Dallas Cowboys.”

Lindzey’s Favorite Quote: “I’m not a woman. I’m a force of nature.” – Courtney Love

This is your Friday Night Football broadcast team, Jim Hills and Rick Smith. Jim begins his 12th season as “Voice of the Wildcats” with the play by play call. “I got a call from KSNP on a Tuesday morning asking me to work the first Friday night game of the 2003 season and 116 games later, you still find me in the booth on Friday nights.” Lots of listeners stop by his business, Burlington Auto Supply, on Saturday mornings to rehash the plays from the night before. Rick joined Jim as the color analyst after his son Corey graduated from BHS sports in 2009. A dentist by day in Gridley, Rick gets his Friday night football fix right here on 97.7.
