KOGO inks LaDona Harvey, co-host of San Diego's Morning News, to a new contract that extends her role on the iHeartMedia News/Talk outlet. For the past five years, veteran news personalities LaDona Harvey and Ted Garcia have helped San Diegans start their day with breaking news and the information important to their world. Prior to the move to mornings, Harvey hosted middays on KOGO for several years.

"I am delighted to continue to be a part of the News Radio 600 family," said Harvey. "It has been an honor to be a part of this team and the company since 1998. I look forward to many more exciting years at KOGO."

Harvey has been a respected voice on San Diego news radio for more than 20 years covering a wide range of important San Diego stories. She's also received a number of awards, most recently honored with a "Gracie" for her radio feature, "I am NOT grateful, I am qualified!"

"When we re-launched Newsradio 600 KOGO, it was clear that LaDona had the versatility needed to shift from a popular local news-talk host to become a strong morning news personality without missing a beat," said KOGO and XTRA 1360 Program Director Brian Long. "LaDona and Ted Garcia together every morning share a chemistry that connects with San Diegans and serves to entertain and inform KOGO listeners every weekday morning."
