Terry & Kay Slavens

General Manager/Operator

For more than 30 years, Terry worked part-time in the radio industry doing play-by-play for sporting events, while his full time career was in some form of sales. In 2011, he was given the opportunity to work in radio on a full-time basis as General Manager of KATX 97.7. The combination was a perfect fit, as it allowed Terry to do the two things he enjoys–sports broadcasting and sales. KATX continues to experience tremendous growth, popularity, and recognition under Terry’s management.

In 2013, Terry’s wife, Kay, joined the KATX crew as the Assistant General Manager overseeing the billing and traffic departments. While having never worked in radio, it didn’t take long for Kay to love the business. Kay is also in charge of all of the great KATX Gear that the station gives away.

Terry and Kay make their home in Eastland and have six children and three grandchildren. They enjoy camping, traveling, gardening, and sports. When asked about his goals for KATX, Terry stated, “I want to do Eastland County radio and do it right–local news, local sports, local weather, and local events. I want our listeners to know that we are their radio station.”
