K-YES Staff

Founders: Andy and Carol Hilger

In 2005, Andy Hilger decided to act on a lifelong goal: to build a Catholic talk radio station. He felt a need to provide spiritual resources and encouragement throughout the week to the St. Cloud Diocese and beyond. With a lifetime of radio experience and team of professionals on board, Andy built K-YES from scratch.

Because of Andy's leadership and vision, Catholic talk and teaching is impacting Central Minnesota with the message of Jesus Christ. Andy and Carol's passion for life, faith and family has created a legacy that will impact future generations.
