Lee Lonsberry

Starting in December, Lee Lonsberry, a former producer of "The Doug Wright Show," will host a show from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. that will focus on news, politics and current events. Additionally, Lonsberry will discuss his own self-described “peculiar” perspective on life in Utah, a news release reads.

“Hosting this show will be a thrill and a privilege,” Lonsberry said in a news release.

In addition to being a former radio producer, Lonsberry has also served as communications director U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, for the last few years.

“I’ve been preparing for this show my entire professional life, and arguably, well before that,” Lonsberry said.

Kevin LaRue, program director for KSL NewsRadio, said Lonsberry’s behind-the-scene experience should serve him well.

“Lee got to see it all when he worked side-by-side with Doug,” LaRue said in a news release. “He’ll continue that great tradition on KSL in the afternoon.”

In addition to Lonsberry’s new show, the radio station has made another change to the lineup: As of Monday, “Inside Sources,” hosted by Deseret News opinion editor Boyd Matheson, will be expanded from a 30-minute program to an hour-long show. The show airs on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

“These additions to the lineup are an exciting step forward for KSL NewsRadio,” said Tanya Vea, senior vice president and market manager for Bonneville Salt Lake City.

“Our commitment to local reporting, fairness, and coverage of the biggest breaking news is greater than ever,” Vea said in the news release.
