 The
RadioMen, C, Foster Kane and Jim Arnold present real
radio for real people. From the keen, comical, and credible
presentation of "Thee News" by C. Foster Kane, to the
somewhat twisted banter between the three; The RadioMen
(along with their official Radio-Ladio) are unlike any
broadcasting team America has ever heard. First together in
Europe as children of circus performers, C. and Jim came to
America in the '50's. Getting that show-bizz buzz, they
toured with actor/ comedian Jimmy Walker for several years
and then appeared in such movies as Dead Men are Dead,
Shrunken Hips, and Lava. The main
objective of the RadioMen Morning Show - "To make people
realize their lives are better than ours. If we get just one
person to cry, laugh or fall asleep, we've accomplished what
we've set out to do." Thanks RadioMen!

C.
Foster Kane,
RadioMan, delivers a special kind of news every weekday.
With thirty years of broadcast experience behind him, "Thee
News" with C. Foster Kane is credible and sometimes wierd.
"Thee News" is today's top stories told with a twist.
Factual, flagrant, and free; "Thee News" with C. Foster Kane
is unlike any news you've ever heard.
THE BEGINNING..............................
C. Foster Kane grew up in Los Angeles, California surfing,
playing baseball, and chasing cars. He attended Don Martin's
School of Radio and Television in Hollywood, and got his
first radio gig at KINO in Winslow, Arizona. From there he
attempted to work at (or get fired from) nearly every radio
station known to broadcasting, including stations from
Sarasota to Butte, San Diego to Casper, Houston to L.A.,
Kansas City to Seattle, and many places he won't mention.
THE MIDDLE..........................
C's mouth has been moving in many major markets. In 1978, C.
Foster Kane (AKA John Langan) worked mornings at KISW,
Seattle's Best Rock, with Mike West. It was here that C.
became friends with an overnight disc-jockey named Jim
Arnold. "Langan & West" moved to KMET, Los Angeles in 1983,
and were fired. Totally devastated and not happy, C. moved
back to Seattle, and did mornings with John Posey at KZOK.
"The Brothers John" ceased to exist in 1986.
Tired of the soot, stench, traffic and lawsuits of the big
city, C. moved to Spokane in the mid-eightees. There, C.
worked as Program director at KZZU, and met up again with
the original "Breakfast Boy" Jim Arnold (now-aka RadioMan
Jim). At that time, KZZU was the #1 rated radio station in
America.
From 1987 to 1991 C. Foster Kane did a lot of things,
however, most will not be mentioned here. He did return to
KISW in Seattle, spent time doing Kansas City radio, and
moved to Alaska where he made what he called "soup" for the
homeless.
From 1992 to January of 2000, C. was the Program Director
and General Manager of KKZX-FM. He has since left that
position to pursue something more enjoyable.
TODAY................
Today, C. works mornings at KKZX (Spokane, Washington) and
afternoons at KNST (Tucson, Arizona) with his good friends
Jim Arnold and Luna Moon.
C. Foster Kane lives a secluded life in North Idaho with his
wife, dog, and 2 cats; and is the father of an eighteen year
old son. His hobbies include snowboarding, pipe smoking, not
eating meat, belt weaving, boating, hiking, staring at the
night sky, stump collecting, glaring at the neighbors,
cancer research, boiling old buttons and pouring them in the
sink, writing, sewing scarves for the homeless, and cleaning
out the barn - among other things.

Jim Arnold,
the original "Breakfast Boy" from his days at KZZU, is a
born and raised Spokanite. He brings 25 years of radio
experience to the studio.
Jim has hoisted the mic all over the place, including
several major markets. While working at KISW in Seattle, Jim
met a morning disc-jockey named John Langan. In the mid
eighties, Jim spent some time at KGB-FM in San Diego. He
moved back to Spokane in '89 to live a quality life and
enjoy less traffic.
Jim is happily married and has a daughter in her twenties.
His hobbies include restoring cars, racing cars, and digging
holes with his dog, Iggy.
RadioMan Jim Arnold, one of the smoothest disc jockeys ever,
can be heard weekday mornings on KKZX (Spokane, Washington)
from 6 to 10am broadcasting with his partner, C. Foster
Kane, and again from 3pm to 6pm on KNST (Tucson, Arizona).
