KBFD Radio

​

Cactus Pete started his radio career way back in 1978 when he was a high school student at Sabino High in Tucson, Arizona and regularly was part of a panel show called "Youth Wants to Know" on KTUC AM 1400 in Tucson.  After a three year stint in the Army in Germany, where he was influenced by American Forces Radio and Radio Luxembourg Dee Jay's, he was discharged and returned to Tucson radio landing a part-time job as announcer at KNST News Radio while attending and graduating from the University of Arizona.  Then he worked at KIIM, KLPX and KWFM in Tucson and the legendary KSTM "The Storm" in Apache Junction/Phoenix.  After a move to the Pacific Northwest in the late 80's Pete was a regular on Q105 Portland and the evening announcer on KUIK in the mid 90's. Pete hosted the "All Night Rock Asylum" on Radio Free Phoenix, one of the country's most successful internet stations, from almost the beginning of that station.  Lil Dee Vibe has been with us since the very beginning in 2003 when KBFD Radio first went on the net and carried right through to FM.  She loves to play golf and volleyball and likes music of all types.  She says "That's why I love this gig, I get to go to the music vault before my show and pick out both familiar and unfamiliar stuff and play it. No one tells me what I can or can't play.  The listeners and I get to discover the unfamiliar stuff together".  Dee Vibe is a music lover and does weekend and summer airshifts.  !
