KASU is saddened to learn from family members of Greg Chance, that he died last night from a heart attack. He was behind the wheel of his car when he was found. Greg has worked for KASU since 1982. He started working as a farm director and then moved to the news director role, which he held for many years. The staff and management of KASU extend our sympathy to his wife, Cindy, and his many friends and colleagues in the community. Out of respect for Greg, KASU is suspending the spring membership drive.
Johnathan Reaves is the News Director for KASU Public Radio. As part of an Air Force Family, he moved to Arkansas from Minot, North Dakota in 1986. He was first bitten by the radio bug after he graduated from Gosnell High School in 1992. While working on his undergraduate degree, he worked at KOSE, a small 1,000 watt AM commercial station in Osceola, Arkansas. Upon graduation from Arkansas State University in 1996 with a degree in Radio-Television Broadcast News, he decided that he wanted to stay in radio news. He moved to Stuttgart, Arkansas and worked for East Arkansas Broadcasters as news director and was there for 16 years.
