Earlier this week, KVI morning show host, John Carlson, announced his retirement from radio, telling listeners his last day on-air will be April 4, 2025.
John Carlson has been named as the next president of Kemper Development Co., succeeding the Bellevue commercial real estate company’s longtime president, John Melby, who is retiring after 35 years.
Listen to Carlson’s announcement and the details below.
“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.”

The Commute With Carlson is heard weekday mornings from 6-9 on Talk Radio 570 KVI.
