KPAN is honoring Hereford's 47th Mother of the Year, Margaret Carnahan. She is a lifelong Hereford resident, the mother of four and a Superlab instructor at Hereford Junior High. She was nominated with 19 leters from family, co-workers and friends. She is shown with family members, being presented a plaque by KPAN's Josie Nava and a floral bouquet by KPAN's Emily Olson.
Margaret is a 1954 graduate of Hereford High and a member of First United Methodist Church. She was presented an engraved plaque from Texas Threads, a bouquet from Terry's Floral and Design, and gifts from Hereford Cattlewomen, The Comfort Zone, Gaston's, XIT Communications, The Body Shop at Home, K-Bobs, Sherry's Hallmark and Funky Treasures. The honoree was chosen from among 16 nominees from KPAN listeners.
Welcome to an on-line visit to the Texas Panhandle, where the people are genuine, the ground meets the sky in an unbroken line and the wind is called Mariah Carey. Or on some days there are other names for the wind. Where cows outnumber people 10 to 1. Where malcontents and ne'er-do-wells are still allowed daily access to loaded sidearms and live microphones. Where you can still be home on the range. Where the land is flat and the deck is stacked and the ladies.....are angels. Where money talks and men are real men and the livestock are.....real nervous.

When the little radio station went on the air in 1948, the army barracks
you see at the left was home to a simple studio and a handful of folks who
were excited about bringing the latest technology to Hereford. Now, with
the fourth generation of the Formby family clicking keyboards to put KPAN
on the Internet, we are still excited about the latest technology to bring
radio's one-to-one communication to you, our on-line listener. KPAN
still has much of the original vision of 1948, a full-service radio
station for a community, daily providing music, sports,
advertising, journalism, weather, ag info, opinion, markets and fun for
Hereford -- and now for you, wherever you choose to log on.
