JD Collins is the Brand Manager here at Kickin' Country. Now, you might ask yourself, what does that mean. Well, here's what he does. JD wakes up, and makes sure this radio station is still Kickin'. He goes to work and spends all day keepin' it Kickin'. Then, on his way home he listens and check again before bed, you guessed it, just to make sure it's still Kickin'. Kickin' Country is not just a radio station. Kickin' Country is South Dakota, Southwest Minnesota, Northwest Iowa and Northeast Nebraska. People change. Times change. One thing has remained the same for the past 20 years. This radio station is still Kickin'! JD's job, his 'what I do,' is to make sure it stays that way.
