Horizon is a current events television program produced by KAET in Tempe, Arizona. It is one of the two locally produced news program for KAET, the other being its sister program, Horizonte.
Format
Horizon has two formats: a normal, in-depth news discussion and interviews on current hot-button issues from Monday to Thursday, with a special "Journalists' Roundtable" every Friday that features a panel of local radio and print journalists, who will discuss the issues of the work week that has passed by.
Production
The show is produced in Stauffer Hall, the headquarter of KAET, on Arizona State University's campus in Tempe, Arizona. Student employees are involved in all levels of the show, from production to coordination. They work under the aegis of trained journalists, with experience in the area.
Present Day
In January 2007, long time host Michael Grant departed from the show after 25 years of service. A search for a new host began immediately. This ended in November, when local television personality Ted Simons was chosen as host.
