On Monday, Abraham Broadcasting, ESPN Winchester WCDT 1340AM, and 106.9FM officially announced Lucky Knott, one of the Southeast’s most experienced and recognized broadcasters, play-by-play sportscasters, and journalists, as the organization's news director.
Knott’s career spans 42 years. He has covered thousands of news stories and done play-by-play for 4,007 (and counting) sports events on radio and television across the region. In addition to being an experienced news sportscaster, he has served in various management and on-air roles at stations throughout Middle Tennessee and Chattanooga.
Other career highlights include writing news stories and being interviewed by various news outlets nationwide while serving four years as the Public Information Officer for the Coffee County, TN, Sheriff’s Department. Knott also taught radio and television media classes at Grundy County High School for six years and is a four-time nominee for the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame.
Owner Joe Abraham stated, “Lucky Knott represents what local radio should look and sound like. In a time where so many stations look to cut corners, cut costs - and automate everything, localism is what connects us to our listeners and our community. All the new bells and whistles and new media opportunities in our industry are great - but at the end of the day, local news and other community content is what distinguishes us.”
“Lucky Knott is unmatched when it comes to his ability and passion to cover our region. He has set the standard for our area for many years - and is who other local organizations aspire to emulate. His professionalism and reputation over the years are unmatched - as is evident by his longevity.”
“We couldn't be more excited to have him as a part of our family.”
