It's such a rarity to see a radio veteran get to retire on his own terms with 6 months' notice. Congratulations to Kimo Jensen, a San Diego radio mainstay and 30-year KSON host. Audacy is even going to throw him a retirement party/concert/event in March. This is the way it should be done -- kudos all around!

What this says is that it was Kimo's decision, likely timed to coincide with the end of his existing contract.

I'm sure iHeart appreciates the six-month notice, as it saves them negotiations with Kimo on a contract he didn't intend to renew, allows them to plan a transition and provides a rare, publicizable, warm goodbye.

All that said, when the shoe is on the other foot, iHeart rarely if ever gives the talent that kind of grace and consideration.
