About William

20 The Countdown Magazine was originally launched by the legendary Jon Rivers in 1985 and William began hosting the show in the fall of 2019 after Jon’s retirement. William met Jon in 1998 while working at KLTY-FM in Dallas, TX where they ended up doing the morning show together for several years. Jon hired William to produce his morning show when William was fresh out of high school and taught him all about Christian music and radio programming. They remained close friends even after Jon left KLTY around 2001 to work for another Christian radio station/network.

William was born and raised in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and currently lives in Roanoke, TX with his wife, Christy, and their teenage twins, Bailey and Morgan. In addition to hosting 20 The Countdown Magazine, he also owns a large wedding and events production/entertainment company called It’s Your Night Entertainment.
