KIX-KLASH RE-HASH
February 18, 2026
Wednesday 18th February 2026
In my 35 year radio career I have had the opportunity to talk with many country artists. Charlie Daniels has a special place in my heart. He reminded me of Santa Claus when he was not wearing his cowboy hat. He was such a sweet soul who loved The Lord Jesus and was not afraid to tell you so. He was a great supporter of our military and loved our country. I had met him many times and when I came to KIX 101.1 the first artist I saw was Charlie Daniels.
This was the first picture taken of Charlie and I and my son Brandon. It was taken backstage at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in Chippewa Falls
Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.
-----
Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.
-----
Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”
You can catch The List weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
