"Lights Out Sacramento"
Weekdays 7pm - 12am
E-mail Doug Thomas
The radio bug started in Junior High. My friend Steve and I combined our stereo equipment in his living room and created our own after school radio station. We were “cutting edge” with our turntables and reel-to-reel machines. The speakers were ENORMOUS! (BB=before Bose). Born in Sacramento, I’ve always had a passion for music. As a former drummer, I couldn’t be happier with my chosen profession. I love working in radio. After starting my career in San Diego, I spent a few years in Reno before settling back into Sacramento in early 2004. The family includes my beautiful wife Crystal and Woody, the terrier. Crystal and I got engaged, on-stage, in front of 10,000 people at a Chris Botti concert in San Diego! My parents live a few miles away in Antelope. Crystal’s mom is in Reno. And my father-in-law, Jack Jones of “Love Boat” fame, lives in Palm Desert. I’m a sports nut. I love following the Kings and the Rivercats and I’m a total golf junkie. Playing it, watching it, you name it! Never give up on your dreams… and thanks for listening.
