Nevada will have one fewer pundit on television at the end of the month.

Jon Ralston’s KSNV News 3 program "Ralston Reports" will air for the last time on Dec. 12.

Ralston made the announcement via his email news flash on Monday.

Ralston told the Las Vegas Sun that he will remain in journalism and continue to operate his email news flash service and website. Ralston is also a contributing editor to Politico Magazine.

On Twitter, Ralston said he’s “not going anywhere.” He hinted that he may do the “unauthorized” biography of U.S. Sen. Harry Reid.

Lisa Howfield, KSNV News 3 president, said the station is cutting back on its political commentary.

Ralston’s 6:30 p.m. timeslot, which airs in Reno and Las Vegas, will be filled with “expanded local news,” she said.

Ralston has been a reporter in Nevada politics for three decades, having worked for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Las Vegas Sun before starting his own news outlet in 2012. He’s hosted "Ralston Reports" for 14 years.
