Brownwood News – Dana Thompson completed 30 years with Brown County Broadcasting this year. Thompson was hired in August of 1990 by the company that has the KOXE-FM and KBWD-AM radio stations.
Thompson grew up in May, and after graduating from May High School she spent a year studying business at Cisco Junior College. There she met her husband Tony, from Burkburnett. They married and moved to Wichita Falls, where she spent time working for a radio station and then a bank. After having her second baby, she convinced Tony to move back to Brown County.
