John Kurtz went directly from being a Kansas State student to joining the media covering Kansas State athletics as a member of the KMAN 1350-AM sports staff, covering K-State and Manhattan area sports. John eventually moved up to sports director and established himself as one of the leading voices in the K-State sports media. Everyone recognized John's talent and knew he would move on, but after 10-plus years in Manhattan, the breaks never fell his way. So, John Kurtz left traditional media and took a corporate PR job in Kansas City. He had, however, started a YouTube channel on the side, and his coverage of Big 12 expansion and conference realignment ballooned his channel into a force in the marketplace. Now, more than ever, Kurtz is at the forefront of covering K-State sports via YouTube. Kurtz left the traditional media to find even great success in an emerging area of the sports media world.
