Walt Gray, who has reported on and anchored news and sports
coverage at Sacramento television station Channel 3 (KCRA) for nearly a quarter
century, confirmed Monday that he will leave next month to take a job with
Sacramento radio station 96.9 FM (KSEG) – otherwise known as The Eagle, "Sacramento's
classic rock" station.
According to Mark Glover at sacbee.com, Gray’s last day with
Channel 3 will be Oct. 19. On Oct. 22, he will begin hosting a new morning
program at KSEG.
Curtiss Johnson, KSEG station manager and program director,
said the new show will be called "The Walt Gray Show," with Kat
Maudru, a longtime KSEG morning show host who has been with The Eagle since it
launched in 1990.
The new show will air weekdays from 5:30 to 10 a.m.
Lori Waldon, KCRA news director, broke the news to the
Channel 3 staff "with mixed emotions." Her e-mail announcement said:
"Walt has been a tremendous asset to KCRA 3. Now, Walt is taking on a new
and exciting challenge in his career. Walt has accepted a new position at
Entercom Radio, "The Eagle" 96.9. The station is creating a morning
team and they tapped Walt to do it – knowing he'd be the perfect fit."
