600 KOGO morning news anchor LaDona Harvey has announced that she is stepping away from the station’s morning show.
After 28 years with the station, Harvey shared Monday morning that she is unfortunately stepping away from the station to move to Phoenix to live with her ailing father, who has Alzheimer’s.
“It is time for me to say goodbye to that era,” Harvey said of her radio career. “I love what I do. I love working with you, Ted Garcia, and it has been just such a great pleasure.”
Harvey shared with 600 KOGO listeners the necessity for the move, stating that her stepmother died earlier this year, leaving no one to care for her father. And while she doesn’t want to leave her radio career behind, she believes it is in her father’s best interest to move to Phoenix to be with him rather than uproot him to the San Diego area.
“I made a really, really tough decision, and I only made it at the end of last week that I could not figure out a way to get him here and do it in a way that would be not harmful to him,” she shared. “It is the hardest decision I have ever made. I have never been through an emotional roller coaster like this.”
Harvey has been the morning news anchor for the entire duration of Garcia’s tenure hosting the daypart for the iHeartMedia San Diego news/talk station
