Mike Sauceda, Executive Producer
Mike's voice may be as familiar as his work on HORIZON. In addition to his full-time duties as a HORIZON producer, Mike is a well-known news anchor on KTAR radio. Mike has been with HORIZON since 1990. He arrived with many years of local radio experience. In many ways, Mike represents the best in the classic (and disappearing) style of traditional reporter. He likes nothing better than digging and digging at a complex issue, then crafting it into a segment the community can understand and learn from. Mike is an Arizona native.
