SALT LAKE CITY -- KSL Newsradio announced Thursday it has ended its relationship with syndicated talk show host Sean Hannity, effective this fall.

The move is intended to make room for more local programming, according to KSL Broadcasting Chief Executive Officer Mark Willes.

He said the company believes its future success depends on creating unique local content.

"We acknowledge the great partnership we've had with Sean Hannity and appreciate his contributions to furthering public dialogue," said Willes. "At the end of the day, we simply feel our future success and competitive advantage reside in creating unique local content, and that is our objective for developing replacement programming."

Hannity has been on KSL Newsradio since October 2001.

The Sean Hannity Show is on the air from 1 to 4 p.m. and will remain on KSL until Oct. 1.
