The awards are named in honor of TAB 2009 Chairman Jason Hightower, owner/operator of KMOO Mineola, who passed away in March 2009 after battling brain cancer. He was 37.
Ashli Dansby began her Radio career in 2002 at KMHT Marshall.
After a brief stint with Clear Channel (iHeart) in Oklahoma City (2005-2008), Ashli returned to KMHT and became General Manager in 2022.
She has been KMHT’s morning show host for the entirety of her time there.
She is always the first to arrive and often the last to leave. At KMHT you can find her installing equipment, selling advertising, newsgathering, producing commercials and other content, as well as meeting with policy makers.
She understands every aspect of Radio and truly gets what it takes to have a thriving local station in today’s broadcasting climate. Ashli is an industry leader in attracting and retaining young talent.
She says you just have to “hook them by giving them fun things to do.”
Community leaders praise Ashli and the KMHT team as Marshall’s best source for current and accurate local news.
