KTAR and Mac Watson part ways

PHOENIX — After 12 years, KTAR News 92.3 FM and Mac Watson have parted ways.

Watson spent 11 years hosting the afternoon drive show Mac & Gaydos. 

Larry Gaydos opened Wednesday’s show with a statement about Watson’s departure.

“It’s a tough day for me. It’s been 11 years that we’ve been together, and he’s been a great partner,” Gaydos said.

Gaydos will continue hosting the show, now called Gaydos in the Afternoon. 

Ryan Hatch, Bonneville Phoenix vice president of content and operations, said listeners can expect multiple guests to join Gaydos in rotation as the show moves forward.

“I want to thank Mac for his many contributions over the past 12 years and wish him nothing but the absolute best,” Hatch said.
