Originally from New York, Dave Wingert delivered consistent No.1 ratings in middays on Seattle’s 92.5 KLSY for many years before hosting a syndicated all-nite program for night-owls, “Dave ’til Dawn” from the KLSY studios. KLSY was also the home for the syndicated “Delilah” radio show. After leaving KLSY, Wingert went back East to Omaha. Wingert worked at KGOR Omaha until an on-air conversation got a little nasty. Wingert was fired from KGOR/Omaha in October 2011. “Dave Wingert, morning DJ for oldies rock station KGOR, is no longer with the station. [10/18/2011] Wingert said an expletive on the air and was suspended, then subsequently fired. Wingert had the KGOR morning job since early 2007. Previously, he had worked at other Omaha stations as well as in Des Moines, Kansas City and Seattle [KLSY].
**** Wingert was hired in January 2012 by crosstown NRG MEDIA Adult Hits KOOO (BIG 101.9) Omaha. “Dave is an exceptional talent with an uncanny ability to connect with listeners of all generations,” NRG MEDIA/OMAHA Market Manager Andy Ruback said. “To have him back on the air in Omaha is essential to continue to raise the bar in the radio market and offer listeners throughout the community a mass appeal morning show that will make people wake up and feel good.”
