Lee Lonsberry, communications director for soon-to-retire Rep. Rob Bishop, will take over the afternoon talk time slot, weekdays from 12:30 to 3 p.m., on KSL Newsradio in early December, the station announced.
Bishop said in July that he will retire from Congress at the end of his term in January, after 18 years in the seat.
Before Lonsberry started working in Washington as Bishop’s spokesman in 2015, he worked for nearly five years at KSL’s radio and TV divisions. For 3 1/2 years, Lonsberry was executive producer for KSL’s biggest radio star, Doug Wright.
“Lee got to see it all when he worked side-by-side with Doug,” said Kevin LaRue, KSL Newsradio’s programming director in a statement.
