Kho people

The Kho people (Khowar: کھو, meaning "people"), also known as Chitralis (چترالي), are a Dardic ethnic group living primarily in Pakistan, with a small population living in Afghanistan. They speak the Dardic Khowar language.

Culture

Kho culture places heavy emphasis on poetry, song and dance. Kho people also have a great respect of law and order. This in contrast to the generally lawless traditions of almost all of the neighbouring regions. Much of this can be attributed to Chitral being a stable kingdom for most of its history, where the rule of law and the will of the ruler came before tribal concepts such as revenge and isolationism.

Because of Chitral's location at the crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia, the Kho display a wide variety of cultures, largely depending upon their ancestral ethnic group and family history.

Languages and dialects

According to the linguist Rehmat Aziz Chitrali, the founder of Khowar Academy, there are seven dialects of Khowar which are spoken in Pakistan:

KHOW

KHOW (630 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk radio format to the Denver-Boulder, US area. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and features programing from Dial Global, Premiere Radio Networks and ABC Radio.

The station runs a talk format as a companion to sister station KOA. Locally produced programming includes "Front Range Focus", and included the Peter Boyles Show before he left the station in June 2013 following a violent run-in with his producer. Boyles' former slot was filled starting on August 19 when Mandy Connell moved from fellow iHeartMedia (then Clear Channel) station WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky, to launch The Mandy Connell Show.

Nationally syndicated programming includes the Glenn Beck Program and The Sean Hannity Show. "The Troubleshooter Show," hosted by Tom Martino, is a nationally syndicated program broadcast from KHOW's studios. Since May 2015, KHOW has produced an evening show for WHAS, airing in the 6–8 pm Eastern time slot and hosted by Connell.
