 Kevyn Burger is a young woman, just coming into her prime. kevyn@kevynburger.comOne of Kevyn's earliest memories is watching the daily afternoon "American Bandstand" show with her 20something, pony-tailed mom. Mom would iron and jitterbug along with the show. Kevyn remembers running to the kitchen utensil drawer and pulling out a slotted spoon with a black plastic handle, turning it upside down and 'interviewing' her Dancin' Queen madre. Clearly destined for a career in broadcasting, Kevyn got her first full time radio gig at age 19, where she wrote the news, did a music show, took transmitter readings and once even painted the bathroom at the AM daytimer in her small town hometown. In the ensuing decades, she bounced back and forth from radio to television, sticking her nose into other people's business and seeing huge piece of the world with the microphone as her ticket to the show.
Kevyn worked in Columbus, Ohio, Detroit and Dallas-Fort Worth. Tired of Texas and eager to return to her native Midwest, Kevyn accepted a job in the Twin Cities on her first visit to Minnesota. She arrived a few weeks before the legendary winter of 1983 blew in. (Still the record-holder for highest snowfall amounts.) That first year, as she shivered through dozens of below-zero liveshots, she knew she had met her destiny. She since worked at KSTP-TV, TPT, WCCO Radio, WCCO TV and Hubbard Radio. Reporter, producer, show host, investigative journalist. Kevyn has lived in Minnesota long enough to consider herself an honorary DOM. (Daughter of Minnesota) In fact, that's what she says as the first snow arrives every year. DOM. While not a native, Kevyn has produced and cleans up after three Minnesotans, her beloved kids. She puts the 'custodian' in custodial parent!
