Longtime Los Angeles talk radio host Tom Leykis is stepping away from his internet-based show, calling it a career.
The former KFI AM-640 host also spent time in L.A. on then KMPC 710 and also on the hot talk formatted KLSX during his long tenure in the City of Angels.
After departing KLSX in 2009, Leykis didn’t begin his podcast until 2012 but continued hosting his internet show until earlier this year. On May 15th, he decided that was it.
“A long time ago, I realized I did not want to be like some of the hosts I heard in the past — begging for callers, stretching for topics,” Leykis told the LA Daily News. “I wanted to go out on my terms when I wanted. So I did.”
The 67-year-old has not hosted a show since that date and told the Daily News he is content with his decision to ride off into the sunset.
