Randy Galloway, the longtime radio talk show host with the
telling Texas
twang that spouts hot sports opinions, is retiring from KESN-FM 103.3 at the
end of the year, according to The Dallas Morning News.
His almost three-decade run in local radio began at WBAP-820
AM when the station sought out the then Dallas Morning News columnist, with
hopes he might break the dominance of KRLD 1080 AM in the sports talk arena at 6
p.m. Galloway did just that.
A columnist at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram since 1998, Galloway , 70, told that newspaper’s website Wednesday he
was giving up his fulltime radio gig. His show, Galloway & Company, has
aired in afternoon drive on the local ESPN affiliate since 2003.
In April 2008, ESPN heavily promoted what it counted to be
his 5,000th radio show. Among those calling to congratulate Galloway
was President George W. Bush, once a Rangers minority owner. For one of the few
times in his career, Galloway was almost
speechless.
