During his 33 year career with KMOX, Bob Hardy was the respected news authority for the entire region.
In the book, "At Your Service, KMOX and Bob Hardy: Pioneers of Talk Radio," Bob Costas said, "He had one of the best deliveries for a newsman on the radio that I have ever heard, because it was simultaneously authoritative and warm. He could be conversational and yet have that classic old style arrogance. He sounded well informed without ever posing as an expert. He never talked down to the audience."
His life ended abruptly in April of 1993 after suffering a heart attack at the age of 63. However, his work and impact to the community still lives on today.
This documentary shares memories from the KMOX Archives with accounts from Bill Wilkerson, Bob Costas, Bob Hamilton, Charlie Brennan, Clint Hasse, Chris Mihill, Kate Bacon, Michael Harrison, Pat White, Sandy Hardy Chin, Tom Langmyer, Wendy Wiese and more.
