Kim Komando – “America’s Digital Goddess” – is one of America’s most successful radio hosts and Web entrepreneurs – and a trusted guide to millions through the thickets of today’s digital lifestyle.

“The Kim Komando Show,” a three-hour call-in weekly radio show on technology, and Komando’s daily “Consumer Tech Update” news reports, are heard on hundreds of radio stations across the country and hundreds more around the world. Her busy website, daily newsletters, numerous books, and weekly USA Today column reach millions of others.

“The Kim Komando Show” live production, is broadcast from Phoenix, Ariz., each Saturday morning. It is currently carried on over 450 stations with an estimated reach of 6.5 million listeners.

“It’s not about techies and computer-troubleshooting anymore,” the Digital Diva (R) says. “It’s now about a lifestyle – the lifestyle of a digital age.”

Komando has worked in the computer industry since the age of 16, ultimately selling Unisys mainframes to corporate clients. In 1992, she followed a hunch that regular consumers were going to need help coping with a looming digital world. She left her corporate job to write and broadcast on digital issues. She began her radio career with a late-night call-in show about computers on Phoenix’s 550 KFYI-AM.

More than 20 years later, the Kim Komando Show is the largest weekend radio show in the country. On a busy Saturday morning, the show can receive 50,000 calls an hour. Her audience also follows her writing on Komando.com, about everything from how to buy a smartphone, tablet or TV to news updates on the latest data theft or NSA spying revelation.

Komando is a star in the talk-radio community as well. She received the Gracie Award for Outstanding Program Host in 2007. In 2009, she was named Talker Magazine’s “Woman of the Year.” She was an invited speaker at Fortune Magazines’ 2009 Most Powerful Woman Summit – and was even the answer to a question in Trivial Pursuit.

Komando and her husband, Phoenix radio personality Barry Young, built their first studio on a shoestring in 1994. Today they operate their own WestStar radio network from a new 24,000 sq. ft. multimedia broadcast production and sound stage facility in central Phoenix, Arizona.  This new facility is home to WestStar Corporate Offices, Broadcast and Digital Sales, Entertainment/Video/Film Operations, 24 Hour Network Broadcast Operations Center and all online operations.

The Broadcast Center incorporates two Digital Radio Broadcast Studios to be used for talk radio, music programming, interview programs, and high production value podcasting, two Voice-Over Studios, two Digital Audio Production Rooms, two Digital Video Production Edit Suites, A Radio Master Control Studio, Television Master Control, a 2,500 sq. ft. HD Television sound stage, capable of a 10-camera production, and a high-security server hosting facility utilizing a gigabit digital fiber backbone provided by both CenturyLink and COX Communications.

“I am relentless in my pursuits,” says Kim. “It’s a lot of hard work, but when you dig what you do, it makes it a lot more fun.”

Komando and Young live in Phoenix with their teenage son.
