KSON's Kimo Jensen Reveals Retirement Plans
Kimo-Jensen26.jpg Aloha: Audacy KSON/San Diego afternoon host Kimo Jensen, known as "the Smilin' Hawaiian," will retire in mid-June after more than 30 years there, and relocate to Italy with his wife, Shannon. The station will celebrate him March 19 with Kimo's Kegger, headlined by Rodney Atkins at local venue The Sound. See video of Jensen sharing his news here. RVPP Scott Roddy tells Country Aircheck, "Kimo is not just an air talent, he's part of our national imaging team and a brilliant creative. For KSON and So Cal, he's family. The talent who replaces him will have a high bar. We'll take our time getting the absolute perfect personality in his position. Until then, we're gonna celebrate him as much as possible!"
