Steve
Kenyon is one of the busiest rodeo announcers in the
country, and the opportunity to be a part of the
ProRodeo Radio Network's coverage of
the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is one of the biggest
highlight's of his rodeo career.
As a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboy’s Association,
Steve annually participates in 40 or more rodeos a year. He
is still the voice of his very first PRCA Rodeo, the Eastern
Oregon Livestock Show in Union, Oregon, which he announced
for the very first time in 1993.
This year he has been selected to work the Columbia River
Circuit Finals Rodeo for the third straight year and for the
fourth time in the last six years. He was chosen by the
Turquoise Circuit to be a part of their finals in January of
2003. He has been the alternate announcer for the last two
Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeos in Pocatello, Idaho.
Each year Steve appears at rodeos in his home state of
Oregon, in Washington, Idaho, Montana, California, Arizona,
Wyoming, and South Dakota. In addition to great rodeo events
like the Omak Stampede in Omak, Washington, the Pine Country
Pro Rodeo in Flagstaff, Arizona, the Livingston Round-Up in
Livingston, Montana, the Crystal Springs Ranch Rodeo in
Clear Lake, South Dakota, the Tribute to Chris LeDoux Rodeo
in Casper, Wyoming, and the Mule Days Celebration in Bishop,
California.
Steve has made his living behind a microphone since he got
his first radio job at his home in Klamath Falls, Oregon
when he was 17 years old. He brings that love of radio and
his knowledge of the sport of rodeo to the "Rodeo Profiles"
radio program.
Steve Kenyon received a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications
with an emphasis on broadcast journalism when he graduated
from Linfield College in 1982. He currently writes for two
well recognized rodeo publications. His work appears every
month in the WPRA News, the official newspaper of the
Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, and in the
Competitor News.
"Rodeo Profiles" will combine Steve’s love of rodeo, his
journalism background, and his love for telling a good
story.
Steve Kenyon is 47 years old and comes from a family of
rodeo participants. His wife Tracy is a Columbia River
Circuit Finals qualifier in the barrel racing event. His son
Phillip is a sophomore at Oregon State University and a past
Jr. World Champion at the prestigious Barrel Futurities of
America barrel race in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
