Lachlan McLean

Lachlan McLean, who for 11 years has hosted the popular "SportsTalk 84" on WHAS 840 AM announced on the air Friday evening that he's leaving Louisville for Charlotte, North Carolina. His last day on the air is May 15. He said he has no job lined up in Charlotte.

McLean and his children will be moving to be with his wife Carolyn Gaeta McLean, who left earlier this year for a new job.

McLean, who is one of the radio station's top personalities, is from Chicago and attended the University of Virginia with a degree in Economics.

WHAS TV 11 hired him in 1999 and brought him to Louisville from the CBS station in Augusta, Georgia.  He was hired by WHAS Radio in July of 2004 to replace Tony Cruise on SportsTalk 84.

On his whas.com page, Lachlan says this about getting the job, "I jumped at the chance to pursue a lifetime dream: hosting my own radio show."
