Wichita’s award-winning “Steve and Ted” morning show on KNSS (KNSS-AM/FM), an Audacy station, will celebrate its 7000th broadcast on August 26. Hosts Steve McIntosh and Ted Woodward, who have been on air together since 1998, are recipients of the Edward R. Murrow Award and a NAB Marconi Award. McIntosh will be retiring at the end of the year, concluding the beloved duo’s celebrated 27-year run. 

“It’s been a professional and personal pleasure to work with Ted for nearly 28 years,” said McIntosh. “Thank you to all our loyal listeners and advertisers.” 

“The road to our 7,000th show has been a long journey for me, nearly half my lifetime,” said Woodward. “What a cherished gift, as listeners have invited us into their homes, cars, phones, computers, devices, and AI microchip implants (maybe?) for 27+ years. It’s been our honor, and we’re truly blessed!”

With a career spanning over 55 years, McIntosh is a broadcasting legend whose name is synonymous with Wichita radio. He has served in key leadership roles, including News Director and Program Director for influential stations like KEYN, KFH and his long-time home, KNSS. His dedication to professional journalism has earned him numerous prestigious honors, including a Marconi Award, multiple Murrow awards and induction into the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
