Red Zebra Broadcasting made the announcement late Thursday that Tony Kornheiser would be leaving the Washington, D.C., sports station. Kornheiser says he’ll be launching a podcast in September. His final show will be in late June. The station will be announcing plans for his 11-1 shift shortly.
Red Zebra Broadcasting Chairman Terry Bateman said, “Tony is a pillar in the Washington, D.C., sports community and we would like to express our sincerest gratitude and thank him for his dedication.”
Kornheiser said, “I have loved every minute on the radio at WTEM. But I felt it was time to pursue a new and appealing challenge. I will be launching a podcast this September. I am excited that this endeavor will allow me to continue to work with so many of the people who have been a part of my radio show for over the past 20 years. But I will miss all of my friends and colleagues at WTEM.”
