On the Air

Steve Reimann
Steve Reimann
Steve Reimann started “DJing” at Roller Rinks in California and New Mexico during the roller skating craze of the 80s. While interning at KLYT in the late 80s, he attended and graduated from the Christian Broadcast Academy. His broadcast career has included stints at stations in Albuquerque (KLYT, KKIM, KKJY, and KNKT) and Chicagoland (WNDZ, WYLL). Although he spent a short time in recent years as a morning host with Jenna James on M88, since 1996 he has primarily enjoyed waking up listeners in Albuquerque on KNKT.
Peter Benson
Peter Benson
Peter Benson has been on the air consistently in the Albuquerque market for 30+ years, in music radio at KOB-FM, 94 Rock and KQEO, and now at KNKT. He says that the opportunity to share daily about having a relationship with Jesus, along with the wealth of topics that spring from it, is an awesome way to fulfill a calling to do radio and serve our community at the same time. Peter is in love with Gera, his wife of 28 years, and has three grown children living in different parts of the country.
Johann Snyder
Johann Snyder
Johann "Yo" Snyder went to school to become a journalist, but ended up in radio through a series of wacky adventures too involved to detail here. Working his way from a volunteer and intern starting in 1997, Johann has been involved with KNKT in a variety of capacities. He currently hosts evenings on KNKT and helps out with programs such as ABQ Connect.
David Heavner
David Heavner
David Heavner is a native of New Mexico, born and raised in Albuquerque. He graduated from Eldorado High School in 1975, and after serving four years in the Air Force he came back to New Mexico and started working for the Postal Service. After years of knowing Jesus in his head, he finally surrendered his life and was "born again" in 1994. When Dave began thinking about retirement, he wanted to do something he truly enjoyed. He took a class for the voice over industry and graduated from the Such-a-Voice Masters Class located in Vermont. When his demo tape got into the hands of the program director at KNKT he was asked if he would like to volunteer to fill the midnight to 6am slot. He didn't have to pray long about it before he was on board. God truly has given Dave the desires of his heart
