Radio has always played an essential part in Jeff Culhane’s life.
It was always on in his home in Mitchell, S.D., and when he would return from school he’d find his way to it. The familiar voice of his father, Steve, would sometimes greet him.
Not in person but on the air as he provided the play-by-play for the local high school or college sports teams.
Even as a child, Culhane would join his father in the radio booth.
“I remember running around the radio broadcast booth at a place called the Corn Palace where all the basketball games were played,” Culhane told the Orlando Sentinel.
