KCBS Radio anchor Eric Thomas has announced his retirement from the San Francisco all-news brand.
Thomas joined the Audacy station in 2020 after more than a quarter-century working in local television in the Bay Area at KGO-TV.
Thomas previously worked in radio at another Audacy news/talk station — KMOX in St. Louis — after graduating from college. He spent five years on the air working as a writer and producer before ascending to the role of on-air reporter.
He later moved over to KMOV-TV before taking a position at ABC7 in San Francisco, where he worked until joining KCBS Radio in 2020.
Most recently, Eric Thomas has served as the morning news anchor at the all-news station, alongside Margie Shafer.
His final day with KCBS Radio was today.
