If you hit Google, you can learn that Pitman is a North Texas native:
David is a Dallas-area native who earned a BA in Broadcast Communication from the University of Texas at Arlington. He got his start in top-40 radio, before moving onto news and talk stations such as KRLD and WBAP. He took a break from radio for a couple of years to be an Associate Producer at the Dallas FOX television affiliate -- churning out soul-deadening stories for anchors to read about random acts of crime and animals caught in precarious situations on video.

On another note, it is interesting how KUHF is devoting Jim Bell to work on the station's HD2 signal. As one of the five people who own an HD radio in Houston, I love listening to KUHF's HD2 station to get the NPR and BBC shows the main station does not play. It was a killer a couple of weeks ago when the station took down the signal for maintenance. On another note, notice that the station is now starting to play BBC on HD3 instead of the Spanish speaker targeted programming?
