Steve Sanchez is leaving K-DAWN for AM 670 KMZQ as the Las Vegas news/talk station reshuffles its lineup. The longtime host will launch his new weekday show Tuesday, September 1st, from 9 AM to Noon PT.
What We Know: Steve Sanchez will move to AM 670 KMZQ, where he’ll host from 9 AM to Noon PT each weekday. His new show debuts Tuesday, September 1st, on the Kemp Broadcasting news/talk station. Sanchez’s move comes as K-DAWN makes lineup changes tied to the impending end of 840 KXNT. That station will cease operations Monday, with some programming shifting to K-DAWN.
What They Said: “After 11 years on K-DAWN, there’s no question that leaving is bittersweet. That station has been a major part of my career and my life for more than a decade. But I’m incredibly excited about what comes next. The opportunity with Kemp Broadcasting and AM 670 KMZQ gives us a true conservative home, three hours every weekday and an opportunity to take this show to another level.” -Steve Sanchez
What Remains Unclear: The broader K-DAWN lineup remains in flux as the station absorbs programming previously heard on KXNT. It’s unclear whether additional changes will follow Sanchez’s departure. Kemp Broadcasting also hasn’t detailed how the moves will affect the station’s overall weekday schedule beyond the announced changes.
What It Means: Sanchez’s move gives AM 670 KMZQ a familiar Las Vegas radio voice while establishing a dedicated three-hour weekday platform. Meanwhile, K-DAWN faces a significant programming transition as it incorporates shows from a station that’s ending operations. For Sanchez, the move provides a new home after 11 years at K-DAWN. It also gives Kemp Broadcasting an established host to anchor its weekday lineup.
