After more than three decades on the Las Vegas airwaves, longtime Lotus Classic Rock 97.1 The Point host Chris Foxx has signed off for the final time. Foxx announced that he is stepping away from radio to pursue a full-time career in real estate. Marking the end of a remarkable 34-year run with the station.
In a Facebook post announcing his decision, Foxx reflected on his time at the station and the community that supported him throughout his career.
“Today marked the end of an era,” Foxx wrote. “After 34 years on the radio in Las Vegas, I have made the decision to hang up my headphones and move into real estate full-time. Las Vegas, I cannot THANK YOU enough for supporting me for 34 years!”
Foxx joined Lotus Broadcasting in 1990 and became an on-air voice for 97.1 The Point when the station launched. Over the years, he rose through the ranks to become Program Director. He spent the past two decades co-hosting the Foxx and MacKenzie morning show alongside Steph MacKenzie.
He went on to thank Lotus Broadcasting leadership. Including longtime executive Tony Bonnici, who hired him in the early 1990s, and General Manager Natalie Marsh for their support over the years. Foxx also shared an emotional tribute to his co-host and close friend Steph MacKenzie. Noting that their on-air chemistry mirrored their off-air friendship.
“I will miss seeing her beautiful smile every day, her laugh, and that 110% positive attitude,” he said. “What you hear on the air is truly how we are in real life — family.”
Though Foxx didn’t elaborate on his real estate plans. He expressed excitement for the next chapter of his career while acknowledging the bittersweet nature of leaving a station and city that became home far longer than he ever expected.
“When I first came to Las Vegas my plan was to be here for five years,” he wrote. “Who would’ve ever thought 34 years with the same company?”
