Wally Hall, sports editor and columnist for the statewide Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, talked with Outtakes following publication of a story in this space about his resignation from the sports talk show he hosted for KARN-AM, 920, of Little Rock.
“There were a number of issues that I’m not at liberty to discuss. It was a great run and I had fun,” Hall said.
His wife has an illness called gastroparesis, one of multiple reasons he stopped hosting the show, Hall said. He declined to be more specific.
Hall still writes for the Dem-Gazette, where he has worked for 33 years. “The paper’s always been my passion,” he said.
He co-hosted the radio show with KARN’s Shawn Arnell for nearly five years, but left in June. Arnell currently is carrying on without him.
