Beloved California morning show host stepping down after 30 years on the air

Sarah Clark, the longtime morning host of San Francisco station Alice 97.3, says she will leave the “Sarah & Vinnie” show in early 2027 after 30 years on air. Her departure will end a long-running presence in Bay Area radio, where her candid style helped make the programme a ratings hit.

Clark said the decision was entirely her own and described Friday’s announcement as an early heads-up; she has not set a final broadcast date. She and Vinnie Hasson joined the station in February 1997, and Clark remained through changes to the show’s line-up. She was inducted into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2019, and listeners have shared messages of thanks and sadness at her news.
