Michael Goodover
(1917 - ) |
Pat came
to Montana in 1938 to work for Ed Craney at KGIR
in Butte. He helped establish KRBM Bozeman and became
the Z-Bar network's first legislative correspondent
before distinguished World War II service as a pilot.
Upon return from the war he established KXLL in
Missoula where he pioneered live broadcasts of University
of Montana away-from-home football and basketball
games. Goodover went on to own and manage KARR and
KARR-FM in Great Falls, that city's first FM station.
He established Montana's first FM stereo translator
in Helena. After his broadcasting career, Pat became
Senator Goodover, representing Great Falls in the
Montana legislature. Remembering fondly his first
job in Montana radio, he said "Ed Craney gave
us all opportunities for selling, news, engineering,
sports, maintenance, cleanup, the works." |
