Las Vegas radio legend Chet Buchanan is bidding farewell to his beloved station after a remarkable 25-year journey. In an exclusive interview, Buchanan reveals his decision was a natural progression, not a sudden departure. He shares his plans to spend more time with his family, including a road trip to Mount Rushmore and a new golf adventure with his wife, Amy.
Buchanan's impact on Las Vegas radio is undeniable. He hosted the iconic 'Morning Zoo' and 'Chet Buchanan Show,' collaborated with local entertainer Mikalah Gordon, and was the beloved voice of the Aces in-arena announcer. His philanthropic efforts, particularly the annual KLUC Toy Drive, have left an indelible mark on the community. Buchanan's dedication to charity is further showcased through his leadership roles in Project 150, HELP of Southern Nevada, and Variety The Children's Charity of Southern Nevada.
Despite his departure, Buchanan remains a cherished figure in Las Vegas. The station's heartfelt tribute acknowledges his contributions, stating, 'Your voice, leadership, and commitment to our listeners have helped define KLUC and its role in the Las Vegas community for nearly three decades.'
As Buchanan reflects on his time at KLUC, he expresses gratitude for the opportunities and the kindness shown during his exit. With a noncompete agreement in place, he is free to explore new paths while cherishing the memories and connections made along the way.
