What a great career. If their was a Seattle radio Hall Of Fame, Mr Ross would most likely be a member.
Confirmed that current ND Charlie Harger will replace Dave and work for a new ND when everything takes place. I wonder if the new boss will be an outsider or someone like Bill Kaczaraba who is currently the digital director at 97.3. He has been a news director at Root, NWCN and KCPQ. This could be his superfecta if he wants it. I believe Charlie was a reporter at the old KOMO news, but this would be his first news/talk time slot.
Dave Ross is retiring Dec. 19.
Added this info (post updated) Thanks!
Does this mean Dave is leaving or Colleen? Is Charlie H out?
Perhaps BJ Shea can make his way over to Eastlake and begin his next chapter. He might be a good fit over there.
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.
Travis Mayfield already fills in at times….maybe he is next in line and familiar with the surroundings and maybe even a leftover morning following from KCPQ a.m.
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

Charlie Harger, News Director is being replaced. The timing on all this is not coincidental.
Because Charlie is replacing Ross. Done deal with plenty of time to find the news boss by the new year. tvuggetmaster.blogspot.com
