Longtime Omaha talk radio personality Gary Sadlemyer will retire from iHeartMedia’s heritage news/talk 1110 KFAB(AM).
His retirement is effective Dec. 12. Sadlemyer’s nearly 50-year career with the station began in November 1976 and included several years as its program director.
For more than three decades of his KFAB tenure, Sadlemyer anchored the “KFAB Morning News.” He also has to his credit the first live, daily talk show in the station’s 100-year history.
Sadlemyer also was heard on Nebraska Cornhuskers’ football broadcasts from 1980–1995.
An iHeart release said that he will continue to provide content for KFAB’s advertisers and will also be heard on the station as a fill-in host.
A Nebraska Broadcasting Association Hall of Fame inductee, Sadlemyer’s first radio job was at KRGI(AM) in Grand Island in 1973.
Current KFAB mid-morning host and program director Scott Voorhees will join morning co-hosts Jim Rose and Lucky Chapman after Sadlemyer retires.
