KC Counts
Operations Manager, KRWG-FMKC Counts has been broadcasting to Southern New Mexico and West Texas audiences for 30 years.
She was born and raised in El Paso and graduated from Burges High School. From there, she went to Eastern New Mexico University in Portales where she began her radio career as a part-time board operator on weekends at KSEL.
