KCBI/Dallas afternoon personality Sonny Delfyette has exited the station. Sonny joined KCBI in November 2021.
Sonny told HisAir, “I am thankful for my three years there as the afternoon host. I worked alongside some great professionals, got a chance to host a documentary about my trip to Poland to help Ukrainian women and children flee the war, and of course share how God was helping me through my cancer journey. I believe God opened the door for me to join First Dallas Media, so I’m trusting Him as He prepares my next opportunity.”
Previously Sonny served as afternoon host at Family Life, Bath, NY for thirteen years.
