In 1996, founders Cliff and Amy Berkowitz decided they’d had it with the over-corporatization of radio and the big city. Like so many of us, they wanted a life that was more about living and less about the rat race. So, they picked up stakes and moved to Humboldt.

 

Cliff had this crazy idea that in a place like Humboldt--a place where we don’t always (or often) hue to the rules--he and Amy could really build something special. They got some friends together from the community and built a radio station that for over 20 years has reflected the eclectic tastes and unique styles of our home in the big trees--in a way that isn’t always about making money but is consistently devoted to serving the people here. A station that plays whatever it feels like as long as it’s good.

 

So what is KHUM? A way of playing music that is free and unfettered. A beacon of education and information for and about our community. Freeform radio for a place that loves its freedoms.

 

Put simply, KHUM is the “Voice of Humboldt County”.

Toby Tullis

Mon-Fri 6AM-Noon

Toby Tullis lives in McKinleyville with his four young children, trusty dog Rocket and fish Mike Trout.

Toby wrote himself out of the Fine Dining Management world with his book "What Seems to Be the Problem" and has been immersed in digital media ever since with his Digital Marketing Company Six Street Marketing. There are just some things that Toby is passionate about like Willie Nelson, Star Wars, Baseball (did you note the name of the fish?) and Buddhism to name a few.

He was bit by the radioactive spider of radio at the age of 15 watching Chris in the Morning on the TV show Northern Exposure and listening to Dr. Don Rose and Mancow in the Bay Area and got as close as selling ad spots and writing copy in Reno.

His personal philosophy is that the ability to heal ourselves from anything lies dormant inside all of us, we just need to WAKE IT UP!
