Jim Bohannon, a radio veteran of more than 35 years, considers himself the voice of reason, a self-described militant moderate. He has anchored newscasts, political conventions, election night coverage, and was Larry King's backup for eleven years. He began his broadcasting career in 1960 at KLWT, his hometown station, in Lebanon MO. After attending college at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri, Jim served in the U.S. Army and eventually moved to Washington, DC where he worked at WGAY, WTOP, and WRC. In 1980, he moved to Chicago where he worked for WCFL and as a freelance reporter for CNN.

In 1983, Jim joined Mutual Broadcasting/Westwood One, where he covered four national political conventions, and the Moscow Summit. Jim hosts the early morning weekday news magazine program, "America in the Morning". Whether it's a big vote before Congress, or the latest celebrities headlines, Jim is on the air with the newsmakers who are on the scene.
