After 24 years with all-news KNX in Los Angeles, Dick Helton has announced his retirement.
Helton joined KNX in 1998 after spending 29 years at WBBM in Chicago. He spent 13 years hosting afternoons at the Chicago all-news station before joining its sister station in Los Angeles.
In addition to serving as morning co-anchor on KNX, Helton also works as the station’s Senior Political Correspondent.

I would tune into Dick more for his delightful rapport with Vicky and Jennifer than the news content.
For me, his warmth and integrity came across the airwaves to help set the tone for the day ahead and somehow made the chaos of the world more manageable.
Thank you, Dick … for joining me on my daily drive to work … for the last 24 years … It has been a pleasure listening to you … A the best yo you with your retirement …

I’ll miss waking up with you in the morning. Your mellifluous voice and vast wealth of knowledge were a great start to my mornings.
