When famed disc jockey, musician, and polka promoter Lee Roy Matocha passed away in 2003, it left a big polka hole within the Fayette County radio broadcast area. Within several weeks of Matocha’s passing, Larry Sodek, stepped up to plug the hole. Lee Roy had been doing a polka music show for over four decades and many radios got switched to La Grange’s KVLG-AM when his show came on.
