Timeline

1952

Dave Ross (born April 10, 1952) is a talk show host on Seattle's KIRO-FM radio station.

1973

After graduating from Cornell University in 1973, where he was a member of the Cornell University Glee Club, The Hangovers, and the Quill and Dagger society, Ross worked as a reporter at WSB in Atlanta, Georgia from 1973 to 1978.

In addition to hosting his talk show on radio station KIRO (AM) in Seattle, Ross broadcasts a national daily commentary on the CBS Radio Network.

He met his wife Patti at Cornell, and they married in 1973.

They have two daughters, Caitlin and Emilie.

1978

He joined KIRO as a news anchor in 1978 and was given his own talk show in 1987.

1982

Other field trips included forays to cover the Pope's visit to Britain in 1982, trips to China in 1984 and the Soviet Union in 1987, the toppling of the Berlin Wall and the revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989, the 1992 Rodney King riots Los Angeles, a 2002 trip to Jerusalem after a series of suicide bombings, a trip to Baghdad in April 2004 and many others.

Ross has generally been portrayed as liberal (although he has also been called a moderate), but is also known for bringing those with opposing conservative views on his radio program to interview and debate.

According to the Seattle Times: "Ross listens, circles around guests with Socratic questions, then makes sharp observations but never goes for the jugular.... [He] remains gracious."

In addition to his editorials, Ross is also known for his "flitch" songs (songs using existing melodies, but with new lyrics, usually based on current events) and often sings one as part of his radio show and CBS segments.

The Seattle Times wrote that "the best of [these] could stand alongside those of the legendary Tom Lehrer."

1983

From 1983 to 2004 he hosted and produced the first syndicated daily radio report on computers, for the Associated Press, called Chip Talk.

1992

Since 1992, Ross has also filled in for CBS Radio colleague Charles Osgood on his "Osgood File" commentaries.

Ross has broadcast from overseas or outside Seattle to cover various historic events.

1995

He was also part of the 1995 Launch Team for CNET, where he contributed segments called The Last Word to c|net central.

2001

Ross received the 2001 and 2005 RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Commentary.

He was unable to accept the 2001 award personally, however, because the ceremony was scheduled for September 12, 2001.

He was booked on a flight to Nashville on September 11, 2001, but instead ended up on assignment in New York City covering the terrorist attacks.

Ross has also received a Marconi Award nomination and Clarion and Gabriel Awards.

He was voted "Best Talk Show Host" by the Seattle Weekly.

2003

For example, on the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Ross traveled to the Persian Gulf to broadcast his radio show from Qatar.

2004

He has sometimes broadcast his show while on assignment in other locations, including overseas, such as Baghdad, Iraq in April 2004.

Ross is also heard on the CBS Radio Network, where he provides daily political commentary.

Ross was the 2004 Democratic Party candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for Washington's 8th congressional district.

For more than three decades in his spare time he has been performing with the Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society.

Born into a Catholic family in Yorktown Heights, New York, Ross is the son of a commercial artist and has a brother and two sisters.

He started his broadcast career at the age of 15 at WVIP in Mt. Kisco, New York.

In May 2004, Ross announced his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives for Washington's 8th congressional district as a Democrat.

He began a leave of absence from KIRO at noon on July 23, 2004, to coincide with the beginning of his active candidacy.

The seat was held by Republican Jennifer Dunn, who retired in 2004.

In the primary election held on September 14, 2004, Ross decisively defeated fellow Democrats Alex Alben and Heidi Behrens-Benedict.

In the general election against King County Sheriff Dave Reichert in the general election on November 2, 2004, anti-Ross advertisements paid for by the National Republican Congressional Committee said that Ross "empowered terrorists" and that he would "wave a white flag" against them.

The commercials said that Ross supported cuts to defense spending by $100 billion, but in fact Ross' statement was that he opposed the $100 billion missile-defense system sought by the Bush administration.

CQPolitics described the race this way: "Reichert's record as sheriff – which included capture of the notorious "Green River" serial killer – enabled him to defeat Democrat Dave Ross, a well-known Seattle-based radio talk show host, in 2004 with 51.5 percent and a 5 percentage-point margin."

Ross returned to his talk show the following day.

Ross is a member of the Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society, and has regularly appeared in their summer performances at Seattle Center, playing over 30 roles with the company.

2006

A 2006 review commented that "Ross, in his 27th season with the company, underplays the Major-General masterfully—snappy, energetic, not too mannered. ... [His] grand and hilarious [entrance] scene, especially at the insouciantly zippy tempo Ross takes, provided a lift and exhilaration I haven't felt in a while from any musical performance."

2007

As of 2007, he served on the boards of the Seattle Transportation Choices Coalition and Economic Opportunity Institute.

2010

On October 26, 2010, it was announced that Luke Burbank would be joining Ross as co-host on his KIRO radio show.

He has served as President of the St. Monica's school commission, a member of the Eastside Board of Catholic Community Services, and was on the steering committee of the Campaign 5000 African-American community development bank.
