“Since the summer of ’93, I’m probably having more fun (now) than ever before,” hosting a KVI show, Carlson said in reference to his initial start on America’s first all-conservative talk station, “and yet despite all that, I am announcing this morning that I will be stepping away from this microphone and retiring from radio this April.”
Carlson advised listeners that everything is “okay and fine” with his wife and family but “in just the past few weeks (I) have received an astonishing opportunity that I cannot pass up. And for the next couple of days, cannot tell you about.”
But Carlson confirms that he will announce his next future step on Friday April 14th’s show at 8:04am PT. So, if you have spent any time listening to KVI’s John Carlson–as the former afternoon drive host or now as the morning drive host–and what to know his future plans, please be sure to join Friday’s show for his important next update
The Commute With Carlson is heard weekday mornings from 6-9 on Talk Radio 570 KVI.
