Dave Ross, Colleen O'Brien retiring after co-hosting 'Seattle's Morning News' for a decade
Dave Ross, one of Seattle’s most influential and trusted broadcasters, and Colleen O’Brien, a broadcasting legend who’s hosted Seattle’s Morning News for 10 years alongside Ross, are both retiring from radio, leaving behind a legacy that has profoundly impacted the Seattle community.
Ross first joined KIRO Newsradio in 1978 as a news reporter and anchor, quickly becoming a trusted voice for listeners across the Pacific Northwest. Known for his thoughtful commentary and balanced perspective, he began hosting “The Dave Ross Show” in 1978, where his engaging storytelling and sense of humor made complex topics accessible and relatable. In 2013, Dave anchored “Seattle’s Morning News,” kicking off Seattleites’ day with news analysis that boasted both clarity and insight.
“Dave Ross is more than just a broadcaster; he’s the heart and soul of KIRO Newsradio,” Cathy Cangiano, Market Manager for Bonneville Seattle, said. “His ability to present a balanced perspective and his distinctive voice has made him an irreplaceable part of our team. Dave prefers not to make a big fuss, but we can’t let this moment pass without honoring his incredible service to our station and our community.”
His memorable news commentaries have been recognized with the prestigious National Edward R. Murrow Award for writing five times, highlighting his outstanding storytelling and journalistic integrity.

I usually liked Dave Ross. To be honest however I only listen to KIRO for post Seahawks game analysis these days.
