LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – A fixture on Lubbock airwaves for more than two decades, Chad Hasty, has died. He hosted various conservative talk shows through the years on KFYO.
Since 2021, The Chad Hasty Show aired evenings on KFYO and was syndicated elsewhere across Texas.
KFYO says he passed away peacefully in his sleep Thursday morning.
“Chad wasn’t just a broadcaster, he was one of the very best to ever cover the people, policy and politics shaping the Texas legislature and our state,” Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows said in a social media post.
Elisabeth and I are heartbroken to learn of the unexpected passing of Chad Hasty.
