After stepping away from his daily talk show on KSL in 2018, Doug Wright is completely retiring from the Salt Lake City news/talk station.
Wright was hosting The Movie Show on the station, which aired Fridays from 9:00 AM-Noon. He also hosted a Sunday news and politics program on KSL-TV called Sunday Edition.
“It has been a treat for Doug to continue hosting ‘The KSL Movie Show’ and ‘Sunday Edition’ the last five years,” Bonneville Executive VP of Content and Market Manager Tanya Vea said.
“We were able to celebrate KSL NewsRadio’s 100th anniversary with Doug and he will always be part of the KSL family. As we say goodbye to Doug, we look to the future and are excited to welcome Andy Farnsworth and Steve Salles as the new hosts. I am confident the Movie Show listeners will be in great hands with them.”
Farnsworth, KSL’s traffic director, will step into the co-host role vacated by Wright. He has worked as a movie critic on KSL-TV since 2015.
“I am beyond excited for this opportunity! I hope to honor the legacy that Doug leaves behind and continue the fun and special relationship shared with the Movie Show audience,” said Farnsworth.
Wright’s final show with the station will be on Friday, June 30th. In total, he has spent the past 45 years at KSL.
