Roger Garrett

Roger “WWW” Garrett, Program Director and KORA Morning Show Host and John Seigler General Manager of Brazos Valley Communications, Ltd., Wednesday announced Garrett’s planned retirement effective December 31, 2014.

Roger “WWW” Garrett is the long-time Program Director and Morning Show Host of 98.3 KORA “The Texas Country Original”.  Garrett has more than forty-five years in radio with twenty-three years on radio stations serving the Brazos Valley and fifteen of them with KORA 98.3 FM.

Mr. Seigler said, “We’re saddened that Roger’s leaving KORA and Brazos Valley Radio, but extremely thankful for the many years of entertainment and service he’s given our stations and the Brazos Valley communities we serve. Roger’s a talented entertainer and wonderfully gifted communicator. We’re most grateful for his leadership and commitment to KORA. Roger’s been a valuable contributing member of the Bryan-College Station community for many years. His strong relationships with community leaders and organizations on our behalf will be missed. We’re excited for him as he explores a new phase of life. We’ll miss him greatly, but he’ll always be welcome on air at 98.3 KORA.”

Mr. Garrett said, “It’s been a good ride, well over 45 years of my life, and I am not done yet. This “retirement” is a transition to creating an internet radio station and a bible study series with “No Boundaries.” And, there will be a Roger “WWW” Garrett Oldies show coming to Oldies KAPN 107.3 FM in 2015!”
