Dottie Ray to retire

Longtime host of AM-800 KXIC’s “The Dottie Ray Show,” Dottie Ray will retire May 13.

Ray’s show airs weekdays from 8:45 to 9:00 a.m. She began broadcasting her 15-minute program in 1950. For the past 64 years, Ray has informed listeners about local organizations, artists, and events.

To celebrate Ray’s contributions to the community, KXIC will broadcast one final interview with Ray and ask her about her career. The interview will be conducted at 8:45 a.m. May 13.

The entire 9 a.m. hour will be dedicated to Ray.
