Cal Hunter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cal Hunter is the current general manager and main on-air talent of Red Bluff, California radio station KBLF-AM 1490, owned by Huth Broadcasting of Marysville, California, which also owns KMYC-AM 1410 in Marysville. His unmistakable voice, charm and great sense of humor are recognized throughout northern California. In addition to his announcing duties, he also calls Red Bluff (High School) Spartans football games alongside longtime sidekick John Gentry.

As one of the most recognized on-air talents in Northstate radio and television history, Cal is best remembered as the longtime news director and anchor of KRCR-TV's 7R News (now known as News Channel 7). He currently lives in Redding, California.

Hunter also served as general manager and on-air talent at the now-defunct KMCA-AM and helped start an effort to purchase the station. Sadly, that deal fell through. He also served as on-air talent on KWHO-FM in Mt. Shasta (now KNTK-FM) for two and a half years. In fact, then-station owner Tom Huth credited on-air talent Mike Summers (now of Sainte Television Group) for hiring Cal.
