Chris Salcedo is leaving morning drive at KSEV after 14 years with the Texas radio station. The Chris Salcedo Show will air its final week from 7-9 AM.
What We Know: Chris Salcedo announced his departure from KSEV during his show on Monday morning. He has hosted The Chris Salcedo Show on the station for the past 14 years. However, he didn’t provide details about where the program will move next. Instead, Salcedo teased a new show launching Monday before a “big time” launch the following week. He also revealed the new program will air from 6-9 AM ET. Previously, Salcedo hosted the 4 PM ET show on Newsmax before leaving the network earlier this year.
What They Said: “I might as well rip the band-aid off right now. After 14 years of being on The Voice of Texas, this will The Chris Salcedo Show‘s last week on this station. It is bittersweet because, frankly, if circumstances had been a little different, I likely would have retired right here on this station and made lifelong friends at this station.” -Chris Salcedo
What Remains Unclear: Salcedo hasn’t identified the station, network, or platform that will carry his new program. Additionally, he hasn’t explained what prompted the move from KSEV. It is unclear what KSEV will insert into that open timeslot.
What It Means: Salcedo’s exit closes a significant chapter at KSEV while opening another opportunity for the veteran talk host. Meanwhile, his 6-9 AM ET announcement suggests the next show could target a broader national audience.
