Helton joined KNX in 1998 after spending 29 years at WBBM in Chicago. He spent 13 years hosting afternoons at the Chicago all-news station before joining its sister station in Los Angeles.

In addition to serving as morning co-anchor on KNX, Helton also works as the station’s Senior Political Correspondent.

Helton’s final day on air will be Friday, with co-anchor Vicky Moore asking for comments and audio she can use on air to help honor her teammate.

I would tune into Dick more for his delightful rapport with Vicky and Jennifer than the news content.
For me, his warmth and integrity came across the airwaves to help set the tone for the day ahead and somehow made the chaos of the world more manageable.

I’ll miss waking up with you in the morning. Your mellifluous voice and vast wealth of knowledge were a great start to my mornings.
I know you will love being retired – especially being able to sleep in every morning. I wish you safe and happy travels and a long and joyous retirement.

Dave Ramsey: We Have a Simple Strategy For Employee Compensation

“We figure out what people should be paid. We figure out what they can be paid if they went somewhere else. Because we don’t want them to go somewhere else, we want them to work here.”

Dave Ramsey has built a multi-million company from the ground up. But his place in the talk radio landscape is a unique one. While hosting one of the most popular programs in America, he also serves as the Founder, Owner, and CEO of that multi-million company, leading him to talk about how he operates that business.

During his EntreLeadership podcast, Ramsey was approached by a caller asking how to go about asking for a raise because they felt they were underpaid.

That led Ramsey to reveal how he goes about deciding on raises and compensation for his employees at Ramsey Solutions.

“I get emotional about stuff, but having somebody asking about something about pay? I mean, we can talk about it but I’m not gonna give you a raise if you work for us based on a feeling,” Ramsey said. “We don’t do feelings in that regard. You’ll have to take your feelings somewhere else.

“Now a fact? Facts are a good thing. So we do comp studies. We figure out what people should be paid. We figure out what they can be paid if they went somewhere else. Because we don’t want them to go somewhere else, we want them to work here, and we need the help.”

Dave Ramsey concluded by stating their thought process is simply “We want to be fair in our pay, you want to be paid fair, but you’re not asking and you’re not being greedy.”
