Bonneville’s KTAR-FM, Phoenix Expands Outspoken with Bruce and Gaydos
Bonneville Phoenix makes some changes to its on-air lineup on news/talk “KTAR News 92.3 FM,” starting with the expansion of the afternoon drive show “Outspoken with Bruce & Gaydos,” [Bruce St. James and Larry Gaydos] now airing from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The station says,
“‘Outspoken’ has built a devoted following by tackling Arizona’s biggest political, social and cultural issues with insight, humor and a willingness to challenge conventional thinking. The expanded time slot allows the show to dig deeper into the stories shaping the state and the nation, while continuing to engage listeners and viewers through spirited conversation. The change will help position KTAR News’ marquee afternoon drive show during a pivotal election year in front of larger audiences, bringing the hosts’ signature blend of bold opinions, sharp analysis and lively debate to the heart of the drive‑time lineup. Outspoken will continue to push the conversation forward with exclusive guests and the Faceoff roundtable conversation every Wednesday.” The station also brings back “Arizona’s Evening News,” hosted by Becky Lynn and Joe Huizenga, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. It will keep listeners and viewers tuned into local programming with a news program focused on in-depth conversation. Bonneville says the new program schedule reflects the end of the two-year run of The Chris & Joe Show in the 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm daypart with the departure of talk host Chris Merrill.
