McGregor left radio in 1987 (rumored to have been asked to leave after a controversial live segment) to work in print news as a reporter and political writer; was later promoted to editor. McGregor transitioned to science and tech editor circa 1991, and contributes satirical pieces and an occasional script for radio and various other sources. He joined KHFI-FM in Austin, Texas in the early 1990s and served as morning news writer/anchor following the departure of Bob Wilson. McGregor currently writes for a national wire service and occasionally contributes material for radio. He lives in Texas.
