For 35 years, Shayen woke up every weekday in the morning with The Morning Proshop with Larry Kyoy FM Radio.
He stopped this New Year’s Eve from the air, but continues to work behind the scenes of the radio station, which he now owns and rules. He admits that the radio is in his blood and is grateful for all the years spent in the public.
“I’m called a great radio amateur,” Proof said. “I was just having fun in everything I did.”
His memorable voice is still famous in Shayen, where he not only hosted his morning show and the afternoon show, but also played a game for high school games throughout the Cowboy state and served as a radio speaker on the days on the border of Shayen.
“He is a return to the sounds of Boss Radio from the 1970s,” said his former colleague and editor of Cowboy State Daily Jimmy Or. “I would describe his style as big. A big voice. Big presentation. Everything was big in it. ”
Retrospection of how it all started
Proietti starts on the radio by making ads as a child in Pittsburgh, California. His mother had a cafe on several doors from the local Kkis radio station and he was hanging around the radio to watch all the DJs. He meets everyone and becomes their unofficial mascot.
“I just put my nose in the door there,” she remembers designs. “I was more pest than anything else.”
One memory that stands out is that they give him the duplicate of the 45. Instead of holding them, Proietti would take the discs in the alley and throw them against the walls to watch them explode.
In 1966, radio speakers took him to his first promotion when he was only nine years old. It was his first meeting with a live gang, The Loving Spoonful, and he had fun out with his idols. Then, when they needed a child’s voice, the dictors grabbed Proietti for the work.
During these years, his mentors, such as Larry Ix and Ray Farrell, also known as Bobby Ocean, had a great influence not only for Proietti but also in the radio world.
“Many of these radio speakers in Pittsburgh, California, eventually went to San Francisco and Los Angeles and have become big names over the years,” he said. “It was interesting to hang around this radio station. They had fans who came and looked out the window.
Rediscovers his passion for radio
As he enters high school, Proietti starts to be more interested in sports and wants to be a professional baseball player. However, after a year at college, he injured his hand and needed a new direction in life.
It was 1975 and he joined the Cuesta College radio station, where he had to remember all the lessons he had learned as young, making ads. That same year, he received his first paid work on the radio, a part-time concert at KBAI-AM in Moro Bay, California.
Over the years, Proietti has made his way up the ranks of various radio stations. He started as a studio engineer until he was able to break through and get a shift on the air. He continued to make his way to music director, program director, operating director, general manager, and finally, in 2013, the owner of Cheyenne, Kyoy AM radio stations and the long-standing Krae-AM heritage.
Arrival in Shayen
Proietti worked at Fort Collins in 1986 for another radio station when he was offered a better pay in Shayen. He accepted the proposal to work with the intention of remaining in Wyoming only briefly.
“The rest is history,” he said. “I called my mother’s phone in California and said,” Mom, I’ll stay here for about a year and then go back to the west. “Here it is almost 39 years later, and I’m still here in Shayen!”
In 1989, he was offered the position of a presenter on a morning show and began to wake the people in Shayen with his thundering voice. He called his show The Morning Proshop and over the years he had the privilege of working with his son Nick.
“The nice part of doing in the morning is that I have people and clients who follow me since 1989 until I got off the air in 2024,” Prooths said. “I actually call them family and friends because I’ve made many friendships over the years, I just talk to people in the morning and have fun.”
Proietti has never considered himself a diskature, and instead chose to think of himself as an artist.
“I try to smile people’s faces, make jokes from time to time, I’m talking about the daily news, a little of that, a little of that,” he explained. “I really enjoyed what I have been doing all these years.”

Beyond the studio
Over the years, Proietti has also played a game game for about 2000 games of various sports throughout Cowboy State. He aims to describe the action as clearly as possible so that the audience can see the action themselves. He would talk about the temperature, the team that was running on the pitch, the smells of food, and anything else he was watching to draw the whole picture for his audience.
“You talk,” he said. “It’s about it, if you’re here, that’s what you see right now.”
Life in Shayen was more than a morning show and baseball games. Proietti also managed to be a radio speaker for Cheyenne Frontier Days for 13 years.
“At one time, we had pre -ancient performances that I presented to some of our local talents,” he said. “I would even get a chance to get on stage and present some of the best performers who came to town.”
From 1987 to 1998 he was a spokesman for the public address of a cowboy at the University of Wyoming, which he believes was great.
“I liked to joke,” he said. “Especially when they hit a threesome or when they win a game.”
Over the years, he rarely took vacations, and had been absent for the longest time in 2016, when he was diagnosed with nose cancer.
“I had about six operations in six months,” he said. “I was tired of sitting at home and recovering. I just wanted to get back on air. I just missed what I was doing. You just get into the blood. “
Written
Proietti has finally come off the air last New Year’s Eve.
He now works more than business and takes care of daily operations such as FCC sales and regulations. He likes being on the street, talking face to face with his clients.
“I never felt I would be rich in this business,” Projects said. “My wealth was on air. I lived a fulfilling life. If I had to do it again, I would have learned a little more about the technology, but I do not regret the career I chose. “
