Wichita's Steve and Ted morning show on KNSS-AM & FM) will celebrate its 7,000th broadcast on August 26. The milestone comes as longtime co-host Steve McIntosh prepares to retire at the end of the year, closing a chapter on one of Wichita radio's most enduring partnerships.

McIntosh and co-host Ted Woodward have shared the morning microphone since 1998, earning industry recognition along the way, including the Edward R. Murrow Award and a NAB Marconi Award. Their 27-year run has made them a staple in Wichita radio, known for their blend of news, commentary, and local connection.

"It's been a professional and personal pleasure to work with Ted for nearly 28 years," McIntosh said. "Thank you to all our loyal listeners and advertisers."

Woodward reflected on the show's long journey: "The road to our 7,000th show has been a long journey for me, nearly half my lifetime. What a cherished gift, as listeners have invited us into their homes, cars, phones, computers, devices, and AI microchip implants (maybe?) for 27+ years. It's been our honor, and we're truly blessed!"

McIntosh's career in broadcasting spans more than 55 years. Beyond his on-air presence, he has held leadership roles as News Director and Program Director at stations including KEYN, KFH, and KNSS. His contributions to radio journalism have been widely recognized, earning him multiple Murrow Awards, a Marconi Award, and induction into the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
