I am Rick Koshko, the news director at radio stations WCMY & WRKX in Ottawa, Illinois. I have been a radio announcer since 1992, a news broadcaster since 1994, an online social networker since 1997, and a web page designer since 1998.

My social networking policy: While my use of social networks will give you insights about me, please understand that the opinions I express are mine and not necessarily those of my employer, colleagues, family, friends, or anyone in my contact lists. I include in my contact lists people I don't always agree with and whose activities I don't necessarily endorse along with people I like and admire. The diversity of opinions and activities intrigues me.

Samples of my work: newscasts, graphics, advertising flyers, newsletters. There are also some opinion pieces and links to my work used on other web sites. And you can visit OttawaRadio.net to find recent stories I've written and newscasts I've read.

Web site sections: Koshko family history, shortwave radio info, calendars, info in English about Esperanto, my film pictures of a November 7, 2004 auroral display.
