SLC Radio: Two Veterans Retiring At KSL This Week

Two longtime on-air personalities at Bonneville’s KSL NewsRadio (1160 AM / 102.7 FM) in Salt Lake City are retiring this week, bringing decades of local radio experience to a close.

Morning co-host Amanda Dickson will sign off on Wednesday after nearly 40 years in radio, including 37 years at KSL. Afternoon news anchor Jeff Caplan will retire on Tuesday after more than four decades in broadcast journalism.

Dickson has co-hosted Utah’s Morning News and hosted the long-running program A Woman’s View. She is also an author, speaker, and adjunct faculty member who has taught media and media law courses. Caplan hosts Jeff Caplan’s Afternoon News and previously worked as a morning news host at WCBS in New York. He is a multiple award winner, including an Edward R. Murrow Award.

Their departures mark the end of long tenures for two familiar voices on one of Utah’s major news/talk stations.
