DAVE ROSS retires. Changes happening at KIRO Morning News.
I don’t know that Ross has officially announced his retirement date, but my guess is he is retiring.
I just woke up from a dream. It went something like this:
570 KNWN – All News
770 KTTH – Gee & Ursala move to 770
1000/97.7 KVI – John Carlson, Ari Hoffman
97.3 KIRO – Jason Rantz mornings, Travis Mayfield or dead air 9-Noon
Ross is a legend. More than earned his retirement.
Bonneville is considered one of the better operators, but a lot of their decisions regarding KIRO the past few years are truly baffling. I wonder how long Curley will hang on there, he’s got enough other work he doesn’t need the gig, but is still one of the better at what he does.
As with your comment on Rantz, please give me a few specific reasons you feel that Curley should be labeled ‘whacko’? No generalizations please. Give specific examples to support your belief.

Interesting comment about Rantz. I am curious. What specific things has Rantz said that merit the label ‘whacko’? Please be specific.

Charlie Harger, News Director is being replaced. The timing on all this is not coincidental.

Perhaps BJ Shea can make his way over to Eastlake and begin his next chapter. He might be a good fit over there.

What a great career. If their was a Seattle radio Hall Of Fame, Mr Ross would most likely be a member.
