After 27 years years over two stints, Mark Mason exited iHeartMedia Talk 1190 KEX Portland OR at the end of last week.

Mason and the late Dave Anderson hosted afternoons at KEX from 1995 until 2013. The duo then moved to 860 KPAM for three years until Anderson’s passing in 2016 leading to Mason’s departure a few months later. He returned to KEX to host 12-3pm in January 2017. Mason also has served as public address announcer for the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers since 1996.

KEX has added the Glenn Beck Show in the 12-3pm timeslot leaving the station with no local shows on its weekday schedule.

Thank you @1190KEX for almost 30 wonderful years. I will miss you all! #memories #Thankful #Humble #crying pic.twitter.com/I45xcdOnHv
