Rowdy Yates

• Contact

Rowdy Yates is a second-generation broadcaster, born in Texas and raised in some of the greatest radio stations ever. Son of legendary news journalist and frequent Paul Harvey substitute, Joe Holstead, Rowdy’s radio travels have taken him to garden spots such as Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Houston, Tulsa, and Dallas; with stops in “B-towns” including Bryan, Bridgeport, and Brady. He began his career at the age of 15, running the church tapes at Denton’s KDNT, near his hometown of Ft. Worth. [His Mom had to drive him to work every Sunday morning.]

Yates’ resume reads like a who’s-who of impressive radio stations where he has served primarily as air personality, but over the years has applied his talents to web design, social networking, promotions, marketing, programming and operations.

Today, we're honored to have Rowdy as a part of the airstaff at 96.7 The Eagle. He can be heard at various times throughout the week on 96.7 The Eagle. He will start your day as host of the Midnight to 5a shift (Monday - Saturday), he keeps you company while you work weekdays from 10a to 2p, and will entertain you while you're out and about on Saturday afternoon from 2p to 7p.
