Jay McFarland Joins KSL Newsradio

KSL NewsRadio debuted a new afternoon weekday show Monday titled “The Browser” to fill the former air space held by the top-rated “The Sean Hannity” Show.

KSL officials decided not to renew Hannity’s contract, and the station aired his nationally syndicated show for the last time Friday, Oct. 1, citing their desire to feature more local programming. Hannity’s show moved to rival talk-radio station KNRS today.

According to David Burger at the Salt Lake Tribune,  “The Browser” is hosted by Amy Iverson and recent Dallas transplant Jay McFarland (formerly of KRLD), and according to a KSL promo features the hosts “watching the Web for you.” It is a two-hour show that airs between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. that will be followed by KSL’s “Afternoon Local News,” which previously began each day at 4 p.m.

During the first show, Iverson and McFarland fielded text messages sent to them and scoured the Web for buzzed-about stories, both local and national.
