Dave Kallaway
Dave started in radio over 30 years ago out in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The son of an Air Force veteran..grew up around planes galore at Ellsworth AFB and caught the radio bug in Junior High and High School. Notes along Dave’s career path include working for NBC legendary anchorman Tom Brokaw who owned a radio station in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Dave re-introduced Twinkies to Rapid City years ago after learning that they had been taken off the shelves EVERYWHERE out there. Early on with WIFC Dave did the promotion “Mow to Lambeau” where he actually rode a riding lawnmower from Wausau to Lambeau Field in Green Bay..100 miles. Dave also created WIFC’s Disco Cures Cancer..that raised funds for 18 years and returns this year for WIFC’s 50th Anniversary. Plus, Dave is part of the WAOW TV show “PackAttack” through the Packer season. Dave voices the fishing and hunting show with Fishing Hall of Famer Joe Bucher which airs nationally.
Dave’s latest venture has taken him into the world of photography. So whether it’s a WIFC event, beautiful landscape, taking pictures at the World Snowmobile Championships, or performances at the Grand theater..chances are good you’ll see Dave Kallaway with a camera in his hand.
Carly Rogers
As they say in the That 70’s Show theme song, Hello Wisconsin!! I’m so happy to be here in Wausau! I come from Central Pennsylvania where I grew up in the country on a farm with cows, horses and lots of land to explore.
Prior to moving to Wausau, I worked on markets in Elmira, NY and Mansfield, PA where I hosted the afternoon drive on the country and top 40 station.
Before becoming fully indulged in radio, I worked for Fox Sports as a producer, ESPN and interned at Nash Icon in Nashville, TN. In the summer of 2022, I was asked to be one of the public announcers for Little League International at the World Series in my hometown of Williamsport, PA and was the first female to ever announce a game!
Outside of radio, you can catch me at the local thrift stores with an iced coffee in hand. Im big into spending quality time with my friends and family and as an avid traveler, I’ve been to 8 countries and 40 states.
Since I’m new to the Wausau area, Wisconsin in general, I’d love to know your favorite things to do here! I’m open to any and all suggestions. So happy to be here with you!
