After visiting Texas many times, Louisiana native Darren Gauthier has finally crossed over the Sabine Pass into the Lone Star State as the new Operations Manager for Townsquare Media’s five stations in Central Texas. Originally from New Orleans, Darren grew up in nearby Baton Rouge and is a proud alum of LSU. Darren got his start at the campus radio station KLSU, rising to the role of station manager before being lured to work in the exciting world of New Orleans rock radio. Darren returned to Baton Rouge in 2001 rising to the top of the programming food chain while holding down a six-day airshift for a decade. One of the stations he oversaw was twice-nominated for the prestigious Marconi award - radio’s version of the Oscar® - in 2012 and again in 2015. Seeking new challenges and a change of scene, Darren Gauthier was recruited by K-101.7 and the sister stations to bring a personal touch and a renewed sense of community focus to the stations in Killeen and Temple.

Student Attempting to Take Nude Selfie Drives Into Police Car
File under "d'oh!"
This is the world we live in: a twenty-year-old college co-ed at A&M wanted to take a nude selfie while she was driving.

Watch Out for Kids Getting Off the School Bus … Or Else
The wheels on the bus go round and round.. .but when they don't, you shouldn't either. Common sense, right? Then why have 1,093 tickets for passing a stopped school bus been issued this year and last in the state of Texas?
