Two longtime hosts at Bonneville's KSL-AM/FM in Salt Lake City announced their departures from the News/Talk outlet's daily lineup, RadioInsight reported. Afternoon news anchor Jeff Caplan set his final broadcast for November 11, with morning co-host Amanda Dickson set to retire November 12.

Dickson spent 37 years at KSL and nearly 40 years in broadcasting. In addition to co-hosting mornings, she hosted the weekly program "A Woman's View" and wrote a column for the co-owned Deseret News.

"Thank you so much for your friendship and support. I am so grateful for you," Dickson wrote in announcing her retirement.

Caplan joined KSL in 2013 and has anchored "Jeff Caplan's Afternoon News" since 2016. He previously spent 15 years in mornings at WCBS-AM (880) in New York before leaving radio in 2006 to focus on his photography business.

"After 46 years, it's time," Caplan wrote, describing the move as semi-retirement. He will continue to produce and host Bonneville's "My Minutes of News" podcast.
