Former WBCS 880 news anchor Steve Scott has announced he is joining KCBS Radio in San Francisco in a similar capacity.
Scott was one of dozens of staffers laid off when WCBS 880 was shuttered earlier this year as Audacy enacted a deal with Good Karma Brands to place ESPN New York on the signal.
In a post to social media, Scott shared the news, noting that Tuesday was his first day at the all-news station.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I have joined the award-winning team at KCBS Newsradio in San Francisco as an anchor,” wrote Scott. “For a kid who grew up in Central California and went to San Jose State, it really is a dream come true. Full circle.”
Steve Scott worked at WCBS 880 from September 2006 until the station ceased operations earlier this year. He also previously worked as a morning news anchor and news director at WLS-AM 890 in Chicago for 14 years before joining the New York all-news brand.
Scott concluded his announcement by sharing the optimism that comes with beginning a new adventure.
“Thank you to everyone who’s been so supportive since WCBS shut down in late August,” he said. “One door closes and another opens. I’m very excited about what comes next.”
