SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Longtime sports broadcaster and radio host C.S. Keys has passed away at 54.
Keys first moved to San Diego to take a position as the morning weathercaster for KUSI.
Four years later he joined San Diego 6 as their sports director, anchor and host of That Sunday Sports Show.
Most recently Keys was the executive producer and host of C.S. Keys Pregame Show on Mighty 1090.
Keys worked in Pittsburgh before moving to San Diego and was described as the “number one African American presence or role model outside of athletics.”

Still stunned by this. @CSKeysShow was so full of life and laughter. I can’t help but think of his young daughter, who was the love of his life. 🙏🏽#RIP #Buddee https://t.co/x30RjsYAwC
