   HONORING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STAFFORD AND FRIGO RADIO SHOW

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. ERIC A. ``RICK'' CRAWFORD

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 11, 2017

  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor the 20th 
Anniversary of Trey Stafford and Jim Frigo's Stafford and Frigo Radio 
Show on KDXY 104.9 The Fox in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
   In 1971, Trey Stafford started his radio career at KPCA-AM in Marked 
Tree, Arkansas, and for the last 46 years he has dedicated his life to 
entertaining radio listeners exclusively in our home state.
   Similarly, Jim Frigo started his own radio career in 1977 at KAWW-AM 
in Heber Springs, and this year marks his 40th year on the airwaves 
exclusively in Arkansas.
   Back in 1997, KDXY radio station in Jonesboro changed its format to 
country music and became known in the community as 104.9 The Fox, and 
ever since the station has been a mainstay of northeast Arkansas radio.
   On September 15, 1997, Trey Stafford and Jim Frigo teamed up with 
the late Mark Ford to form the Stafford, Frigo and Ford Radio Show on 
KDXY 104.9 The Fox. After Mark Ford's untimely death in November, 2004, 
Trey Stafford and Jim Frigo continued on with the show as Stafford and 
Frigo.
   September 15, 2017 will mark 20 years that Trey Stafford and Jim 
Frigo have been on the same radio show continuously, now known as 
Stafford and Frigo.
   In those 20 years, Stafford and Frigo has become the premiere talk 
show in Jonesboro, and for their commitment to each other, their city, 
and indeed our entire region, please join me in honoring their past two 
decades on the air.
