Lonnie Bell
|
 Lonnie Bell came to Montana 42 years ago to fill in for one weekend and the rest they say, is history. Lonnie is a legend in the broadcasting field, introducing country and western listeners to groups like Alabama and singing sensation, Loretta Lynn.
"I discovered Loretta in the state of Washington and was the emcee for Alabama’s first ever concert," notes Bell, who was inducted into the Country Music DJ Hall Of Fame in Nashville, TN in 2005. He is one of only 70 members in this elite group.
"Working for NNB radio keeps me young," says Bell who is also considered one of the top radio sales people in the state. "I don't have time to slow down, this is too much fun."
