After moving to Los Angeles to work for CBS, Scott attended UCLA as a journalism major before joining the legendary KGIL-AM 1260 in 1969.

Scott says, "I love this city. Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world. So many of the great standards artists have homes, and perform here. Theres always something exciting and new, yet it has the feel of a small town. People here really care about each other, and our community."
