Chad Benson

Bonneville has announced that Chad Benson will join Larry Gaydos in afternoons on the new "Gaydos and Chad" show, debuting Tuesday, January 21 on KTAR-AM/Phoenix. Benson, who also hosts Radio America's syndicated "The Chad Benson Show" on a national basis, formerly hosted an evening show on KTAR-FM (News 92.3) from 6-9pm.

"Chad is one of the most talented and energetic talk show hosts that I've ever seen," said Bonneville Phoenix Senior VP/Market Manager Scott Sutherland. "I can't wait for he and Larry to inform and entertain the KTAR audience on their way home each day."

"I am beyond excited to be partnering with Larry Gaydos, one of the most talented men in radio, on one of the most iconic stations in the country," added Benson. "Here we come Phoenix."

With the move of Benson's show to afternoon drive, KTAR will add Arizona's Evening News each weekday from 6-7pm, which will include a full hour of news, traffic and weather.
