Two longtime hosts at Bonneville News/Talk 1160 KSL Salt Lake City/102.7 KSL-FM Coalville UT are retiring this week.
Morning co-host Amanda Dickson will retire on Wednesday, November 12 ending a 37-year-run at the station. Dickson also hosts the weekly “A Woman’s View” on the station and was a columnist for the co-owned Deseret News. Dickson shared, “After nearly 40 years in radio, 37 at KSL, I am retiring from broadcasting on November 12th. Thank you so much for your friendship and support. I am so grateful for you.”
Afternoon news anchor Jeff Caplan will retire on Tuesday, November 11. Caplan joined KSL in 2013 and has anchored “Jeff Caplan’s Afternoon News on KSL” since 2016.

He will continue to produce and host the “My Minutes of News” podcast for Bonneville.
Caplan had posted, “After 46 years, it’s time. I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I’ve decided to hang up my headphones and say goodbye to the KSL air studio. The final edition of Jeff Caplan’s Afternoon News will air next Tuesday. I’m sliding into semi-retirement!
Sayonara to the 11 hour days! I get spend more time with Heather, the kids, the grandkids, and enjoy all the good things!”
