Welcome Brian Lauritzen to KDFC

Hostsschedule

Since Robin Pressman's recent retirement, so many listeners have reached out to wish her well and express what she meant to them. Thank you!

Now you're invited to spend your weekdays from 3PM-8PM, with Brian Lauritzen. He already shares his love of choral music with you every Sunday morning with A Joyful Noise (7-9AM), and you hear him each week as part of our Classical California Fridays line-up. Now he'll be there with you Monday to Friday as you finish your day and start your evening.

Brian says, "it's a joy to celebrate Robin Pressman and all she has meant to KDFC over the last dozen years. It's also sad to say farewell to a broadcaster who has been a compassionate companion to so many listeners throughout her illustrious career. Robin's shoes are ones that cannot be filled, but I am excited to develop a relationship with the incredible KDFC audience as we share this wonderful music together."

Listeners are already giving Brian a warm welcome.

Very happy to have Brian Lauritzen now hosting afternoon/evening program.

Joanna S., KDFC Listener

Please pass along our warmest appreciation to and for Robin whose soothing voice, informed narrative and utterly delightful radio personality have lived with us for years. We shall miss her but are delighted she is onto a new chapter…and please pass along to KDFC’s powers that be that Brian is the perfect choice to take her chair!

Catherine M., KDFC Listener

Tune in weekdays 3-8PM — Brian will get you through the end of the day, and into your evening, with incredible classical music and a friendly voice.

And don't forget, you can still hear Robin Pressman as the voice of The Great Escape, streaming now on our website.
