For three decades the morning radio team of Ben Davis and Patty Dee have entertained and informed Sioux Falls.

They have been heard on a couple of different stations over the years but never stopped being the way lots of folks around here wake up every weekday.

Ben and Patty started together in the mid-90s on KIKN-FM playing country music with their conversations.

They soon moved to what at the time was called Mix 973, and is now 97.3 KKRC. And they have made it their home there the longest.
