No one could have predicted that Susan Clark would become a "radio personality". She grew up painfully shy, went through school mostly invisible, and fell into radio almost by accident nearly a dozen years ago. After making nearly every mistake possible during her first year as a part-time weekend DJ, she has achieved the pinnacle of her career, proudly wearing the "Queen of Dial-a-Deal" crown, following the Morning Update and "Coffee Break" on KBLL 1240 AM. She then moves to the computer to write commercials, and follows that with an mid-day shift on KBLL 99.5 FM.
Susan is also gaining fame as a local artist. (click here to check out the Susan Clark Art Gallery).Those who have attened the last several Art Walks in Downtown Helena have seen her paintings at several sites. Some of her works are currentlyh on display at the Holter Museum of Art, and are in private collections around the Helena area. She showed some of her recent works at the Lewis and Clark Heritage Center, in the Downtown Walking Mall, duing the Fall Art Walk on November 9th. In her other life, Susan shares her house with a few pets, a collection of vintage clothing, and a growing library.

He moved back to South Florida in 1994 to care for his aging parents, and returned to KBLL in 2004 . He likes to go to the mountains, enjoys bowling, and of course, music.

Erin Yost joined the Beartooth NBC team in October 2007 after graduating from the University of Montana. Being a Minnesota native, Erin loves snow - but had nowhere to ski! So, while visiting a friend in Missoula, she decided Montana would be the next place she'd call home!
In Missoula she majored in Broadcast Journalism and minored in Communications. Erin earned two Regional Student Emmys for her contribution to her school's Montana PBS newspiece (Business: Made In Montana) and college news program (UM News). While attending college, Erin worked at the NBC affiliate KECI-13. Waking up at an extremely early hour (3 AM), Erin assistant produced and reported for Western Montana's number one rated morning show, Montana Today.
Erin loves to ski and anything to do with winter. She also likes to play with her pups, Knut and Bear, and trying to keep her cat, Mesa, out of the middle of them!
