Tom Sullivan, a veteran talk radio host, is stepping down from his daily afternoon show on iHeartMedia’s NewsRadio KFBK in Sacramento, where he has been a mainstay for over four decades.
His final broadcast is scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2025, marking the end of a significant chapter in his career and for the station. Sullivan’s show, airing weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET, has also been nationally syndicated through Talk Media Network, reaching listeners across multiple markets.
Sullivan began his broadcasting career at KFBK in 1980, initially as a financial editor, and became the station’s top-rated talk host by July 1998. Known for his smart, opinionated, and inclusive style, he built a loyal audience in Sacramento while expanding his reach nationally.
His career highlights include being named to Talkers magazine’s Heavy Hundred, a nomination for Radio & Records News/Talk Personality of the Year, and years as a fill-in host for Rush Limbaugh’s program.
His retirement announcement came on April 2, 2025, framed as a “semi-retirement” by KFBK, suggesting he’s not fully exiting the media landscape. Sullivan, now in his mid-70s, plans to shift focus to a new podcast, allowing him to stay connected with listeners in a less demanding format.
