About Art Roberts

ART ROBERTS BIONARRATIVE
Art was born and brought up in a part of our country that never knew the pleasures derived
from Pace Picante Sauce. (New York City) He atoned for his misguided youth by
attending Southeastern Louisiana University, in Hammond. There he met and married
Bobbi Voorhies, a New Orleans Southern Belle. The Roberts ultimately had five
children. Each one unique.
After graduation, Art and Bobbi headed across the border to Texas, where Art launched his
radio career in the thriving town of Atlanta and KALT. (Population 3000 - including the
cattle.) Art and Bobbi left Atlanta, holding their first daughter and headed for KTBB,
Tyler, then KLIF, Dallas. His radio career bloomed rapidly. They moved to WCUE,
Akron, OH; WKBW, Buffalo, NY; and WLS, Chicago, IL, where they stayed for 10
years. Eventually, Art added WKQX, Chicago; WOKY and WBCS, Milwaukee, WI; KNBR
and KNEW, San Francisco, CA; and KLUV, Dallas and KBUC / KXTN, San Antonio, TX
to his list of success stories.
Many of the radio stations with which Art has been associated are recognized as
legendary call letters in the broadcast industry. His experience has encompassed all areas
of broadcasting: talent, operations, sales, station manager, and general
manager.
Art has acquired extensive marketing experience while associated with Century Analysis
Incorporated, Pacheco, CA. As National Marketing Consultant for CAI-Net, an
enterprise-wide information management networking software, he dealt with large
corporations such as NASA and Andersen Consulting. Art also worked as an investment
consultant for GNA, a General Electric Financial Company.
