After 40 years at KSL Newsradio 102.7 FM/1160 AM/Salt Lake City, Doug Wright has announced he will be stepping back from five-days-a-week on-air hosting duties on June 1. He will continue at the station as a special news consultant and correspondent, and will also continue to host the popular and long-running KSL Movie Show on Fridays, 9 a.m.–noon. June 1 is not only Wright’s last daily show on KSL Newsradio, it is his 40th anniversary, having started with KSL back on June 1, 1978.
“Doug Wright is synonymous with KSL,” said KSL General Manager Tanya Vea. “His show is the place where thought leaders go to talk, and tune in to listen. Doug’s insights and interviews have made a significant impact in this state. He is an irreplaceable part of the KSL legacy.”
Although born and raised in Sugarhouse, Wright got his first job in radio when he was just 16-years old at KDYL in Tooele. In 2010, he won a prestigious NAB Marconi Award for “Large Market Personality of the Year.”
Doug Wright’s successor on KSL is the all-new Talk program Dave and Dujanovic.
