After more than three decades on Sacramento radio, Pat Still is preparing to sign off. The longtime morning host at Bonneville International’s 105.1 KNCI announced he will retire April 17, closing a 34-year run that made him one of the market’s most recognizable voices.
“It’s been a long, wonderful ride here at KNCI,” Still said during an on-air announcement alongside co-hosts Cody Robinson and Joe Maumee.
In his announcement, Still compared his tenure to an athlete spending an entire career with one team. He joined the station in 1992 with longtime partner Tom Mailey. The duo quickly became a dominant force in Sacramento mornings.
Their partnership lasted more than three decades before Mailey stepped away last year.
In 2024, Still and Mailey received one of the format’s highest honors. Both were inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame, recognizing their impact on country radio.
The show evolved in recent years. Robinson joined in 2017, helping the program connect with a new generation of listeners. Earlier this year, Maumee came aboard following Mailey’s exit, as the show transitioned to its current lineup.
Bonneville Sacramento Group Director of Programming Chad Rufer praised Still’s legacy and influence.
“To have had the opportunity to work with a Country radio icon like Pat Still was a career milestone for me,” said Rufer. He called working alongside Still a career highlight and credited him with shaping the station’s identity. Rufer added that Still’s presence will be missed both inside the building and across the market.
