JD Hayworth, with a television and radio career that spans five decades, featuring assignments as a show host on both coasts, and a 12-year "detour" to Capitol Hill, returns fulltime to Phoenix radio, reuniting with local News/Talk KFNN for the 3-5pm weekdays. In 1994, Hayworth was elected to the U.S. Congress from Arizona's 6th District, as part of the first Republican House Majority in forty years.

JD's new show "All Right Now" signifies his return to daily Arizona local broadcast radio. Hayworth was first heard on KFNN with his short-form morning commentary program, "The Business of Sports" in 1992 and 1993, while he was seen daily on local TV station Channel 10 as the weeknight sports anchor at 6pm and 10pm.

"JD coming home to KFNN is a watershed moment for our station and all Arizona radio listeners" said CRC Broadcasting Company Founder and CEO Ron Cohen. "With so much interest in the 2024 election and Arizona's growing notoriety as a key battleground state, the timing could not be better to bring JD back to host a daily show. No Valley radio host possesses JD's credentials in both broadcasting and politics," said Cohen.

"KFNN has given me this chance to return to the air on a regular basis, and I'm grateful," added Hayworth. "No one will confuse me with 'Toto' from the 'Wizard of Oz,' but I'll 'routinely pull back the curtain' on what's really happening with politics and public policy."

Hayworth's broadcasting background led to frequent guest appearances on cable news outlets and syndicated radio talk shows; he even anchored telecasts of MSNBC's "Scarborough Country" and CNN's "Crossfire," and served as a guest host on the nationwide News/Talk programs including Mark Levin, Erick Erickson, Laura Ingraham, Mike Gallagher and Todd Starnes.
