Veteran radio personality Larry Martino retires from Beasley Media's KKLZ-FM in Las Vegas. He had been with the Classic Hits outlet since 2007 and worked in the market for the past 30 years. Most recently, Martino served as KKLZ's Assistant PD, Music Director and afternoon talent. He's a member of the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame. His previous radio stints include KGGI/Riverside, KQXR/Bakersfield and WZKS/Nashville.

According to KKLZ's web page, "We want to thank Larry for his dedication and hard work throughout the years. He had taught us so much and had made 96.3 KKLZ a special station. We're proud to have worked and learned from Larry. This is not goodbye but a 'see you later!"'

KKLZ PD Mike O'Brian said, "After spending 17-18 years programming with Larry Martino, you find out he is an incredible talent, has an amazing work ethic, and is a true radio pro who made KKLZ that much better."

WRBQ (Q105)/Tampa and WROR/Boston afternoon host Geno Knight will now voice track KKLZ.
