About Lars

Lars got his start in radio at age 16 spinning records and reading news, sports and weather at the edge of a cow pasture in Tillamook, Oregon on “The Mighty 1590”, KTIL.

49 years later, he’s only moved 75 miles east to Portland, and light years to “the Right”. The Emmy and Peabody award winner delivers six hours of radio backed by four decades of experience as a radio and television journalist. Six hours of daily prep keep The Lars Larson Show on top of the news cycle and top-of-mind for listeners across the country.

“‘Havana –on-the-Willamette’ (Portland) as a radio home base provides all the real red meat any talker could ever hope for. I’m thrilled to be part of the Alpha Family.”
