For over three decades, Kyle Kellams has been a voice of insight, curiosity, and connection for Northwest Arkansas and beyond. Since he first landed at KUAF, he has built a world of wonder through the power of storytelling, helping listeners discover the people, places, and events that shape our region. Many who have called Arkansas home recognize and appreciate his voice, a voice that has guided us through the stories that matter, through moments that make us pause, and through narratives that deepen our understanding of this place we love.
His work with Ozarks at Large has gone beyond just reporting—it has created a space where voices are heard, where history and progress intertwine, and where the daily lives of Arkansans are highlighted in meaningful ways. His dedication, foresight, and determination have established a foundation of trust and engagement, making KUAF not just a local station but a cherished source of information far beyond Northwest Arkansas.
There are those moments when a story is so compelling that it keeps us in the driveway, unable to turn off the radio, because we need to hear how it unfolds. That’s the power of Kyle’s work—his ability to captivate, inform, and connect us to the heart of Arkansas. Over time, his platform has grown beyond a regional audience, becoming a touchstone for anyone who wants to stay connected to home, no matter where they are—whether in Arkansas, Louisiana, California, Mississippi, or beyond. KUAF, and Kyle himself, have made it possible for us to take a piece of Arkansas with us wherever we go.
Beyond the airwaves, Kyle’s presence extends onto the stage, where he serves as an emcee for events that celebrate arts, culture, and community. His passion for storytelling and his genuine love for this region are evident in every word he shares.
As he celebrates 35 years at KUAF, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Kyle Kellams and the team behind Ozarks at Large. Thank you for your dedication, your stories, and your unwavering commitment to keeping us informed and inspired.
Kyle, we hear you. And we appreciate you. Here’s to many more years of storytelling!
