News/Talk KFBK-FM/Sacramento launches "The Pat Walsh Show," a local three-hour talk program featuring longtime sports anchor Pat Walsh, beginning October 14, from 7-10pm PT. Walsh will continue as afternoon news/sports anchor from 4-7pm. Former ESPN analyst, Bill Herenda, will join the station to take over as the morning news/sports anchor from 5-9am, while Sean Hannity moves to sister Talk KSTE-AM from 12-3pm and airs live.

"KFBK is Sacramento's local news station and adding Pat Walsh to the evening lineup helps further establish KFBK as the leader in local news and information," said VP/Programming Ken Charles. "Adding Hannity's show live to KSTE makes the station home to the biggest regional and national personalities with Armstrong and Getty, Dennis Miller and now Sean Hannity."

Walsh began his broadcasting career in 1990 as a sports and news anchor at KPAY/Chico, CA. In 1994 he joined the Clear Channel team as a news anchor and morning producer for KSTE/Sacramento. Two years later he started his 17-year stint as the sports anchor for the KFBK morning and afternoon news.

"I am excited and extremely proud to begin my new adventure as Sacramento's newest local talk host," added Walsh. "It's been a life-long dream to host my own radio show."
