Since Linda Thomas is gone, time for update review, Still dont like the Ron and Don show- they are just AWFUL and cant understand why they are still on KIRO (Specially when KIRO has gotten rid of better talent) Dave Ross is still pretty good, although I disagree with his views 95% of the time lol. The John and Tom show following Dave is great and love the two together! And then there is Dori Monson- love listening to him After Dori is off, I switch stations since i cant handle listening to Ron and Don for more then 5 minutes. read more

I have listened to this station for years but am at a point where I have a hard time listening anymore, Evan Dave Ross has jumped the shark, maybe because he now has a partner who he feels the need to keep happy. Then after them you have the Free and Ursula show with Chef ( probably a cook, not a Chef) all they talk about is White rich people are bad for creating jobs for people who then pay taxes and buy stuff at local stores(sales tax)so local government can piss away with NO accountability, Free (Gee) thinks if you just pay everyone 25-30 per hour that would be the answer, maybe a semester of basic economics would be good for Mr Free. I can't believe Dori Monson is gone, RIP Dori, but could the radio station at least find someone with the same political position as him as a replacement? Other than Brandi who may not want the job full time,the time slot has been filled with left wing woke jokes Spike and Jack Stine who think they are so superior and have the answers to everything, as long as it's what they think should happen. John and Sherry are fun to listen to but after that forget about it, can't listen to that drivel. Thanks read more

I used to like listening to KIRO because I heard a range of opinions. Now it is the same old message over and over again. "The government is the answer to all your problems and you should be ashamed of yourself if you don't parrot our view." When Dori died I was afraid KIRO would just go to the same talent pool of liberal idealists to fill his slot. My fears were justified when I turned on the radio the other day and found out that spike was now the host. Ughhhh, can't stand to listen to his well practiced sincerity oozing out of the radio. He sounds like he is trying too hard to convince everyone he is a thoughtful person but it just doesn't come across as real. The good news is now I have freed up a memory spot on my radio and filled it with another music channel. Thanks KIRO for helping me out on that. read more

I dislike this radio station because it has too many annoying and continuous commercials all the time, no matter the radio show. When the commercials start, I change the radio station immediately to a better radio station. In the past it was never this way; yes, there were a few commercials but not as many continuous, annoying commercials. Sometimes I count them, and KIRO has anywhere between 12 and 15 continuous commercials for about 8 to 10 minutes. In my opinion, this time can be used for a more productive radio show. read more

Loved listening to Dori every day. His replacetments are horrible. I tried in the beginning but can no longer listen. The main character has a horrible voice, talks about himself constantly and is depressing. Not an uplifting show. Pls replace him!! Your listeners need people with great personalities. read more

AVOID READING THE LOW STARS AS THEY ARE FULL OF LIES! Be careful of the left radicals that want to take your rights away, do your own research as knowledge is power. This station speaks TRUTH and that is FACT! Keep up the good work and don't allow the left to silence your voice read more

The HIGHLIGHT of the station is the Tom and Curley show from 9 AM - 12 PM. The Candy, Mike and Todd show isn't great. They are ALL over the place - and I just don't get the format. It's like the show has ADHD or something. The only part of the show I enjoy is Todd Herman - and I NEVER thought I would like him (I assumed he would be a total non-thinking conservative I guess). **I abhor how Ron and Don were treated when released in December. They were fired and replaced with the producer of their OWN SHOW, Candy Harper (along with Mike Lewis and Todd Herman). I wasn't a fan of Candy's when she would talk on the Ron in the first place, and then she betrays the two people that gave her a recent voice on the radio by taking their jobs?????????? I am all about women moving ahead in the workplace, but I can't get over this. I just can't. I've tried, but I can't. read more

My time/relationship with this radio station is over. The only show i enjoyed in the afternoon was the Ron and Don show. Curley is just one angry person and the rest do not have a clear or concise show. Then this station cancels the Ron and Don show - no explanations. And this was a rather popular show. The replacements recently announced - meh. So I will be looking for a new talk show radio, even if I have to search Surius. read more

I truly enjoyed the Ron and Don Show. Usually interesting topics and lots of community support activity. Very sad to see them go. Hope they land on something local. I'd LOVE to listen to them again. I'm also a fan of Rachel Bell. I know some feel she's annoying, I don't agree. Dory? Jumped the shark LONG ago. His personal issues coupled with a lack of respect for anyone who disagrees with his conservative views is disgusting. Stopped listening to him several years ago. The morning hosts are great. KIRO is my choice in the morning. At noon, I switch to music or XM. read more

I use to listen to this station all day, from Dave and Colleen in the morning, to Ron and Don! I now feel that this station is no longer liberal, allowing all sides. It is FOX NEWS and Dori Monson is the Tucker Carlson of Seattle. Too bad you have allowed his definite negative attack on all Democrats! He came back much worse since his suspension. Good bye to what was a fun day of objections to trashing the Democrats! No thanks, a lot of friends said goodbye along time ago! read more

Dori is great! He tells it like it is.dont care for the morning show I feel there one sided on alot of things

My disappointment with KIRO continues to grow. Always Dave Ross and then you kind of lose me now. Dori tries to insight his listeners by making outrageous statements. He is disrespectful to political candidates. The afternoon trio just yammer. I am thankful for Sirius radio. read more

Candy, Mike and Todd...write some new material your show is BORING!!! "You are in control of the show, the listener picks matter only to us" and then you tell them all anyway. yaddy yaddy yaddy...zzzzz. This used to be my go to radio show for my commute home. :( I am unclear why this show replaced Ron and Don. At least those guys knew how to mix up the stories and keep it interesting. read more

IMO KIRO should have removed the Dori Monsons show and kept Ron and Don. Dori is so annoying with his constant whining and incredibly biased views. He must GO KIRO! The only show i can listen too now is Dave Ross. read more

I'm a Seattle area liberal so I was a fan of Dave Ross and Ron and Don. I'm out after the end of Ron and Don. The station is getting too conservative for me. Dori doesn't even deserve a mention as he's Rush Limbaugh light and I wonder if it's an act. The Tom and Curley show seems to be well balanced and a hit for many, but I find Tom Curly to be unforgivably offensive without even meaning to. At least R&D were funny and outrageous, if occasionally offensive. The new show is weird and cringeworthy. Still enjoy the occasional weekend show and I for one really miss hearing Rachel Bell since I can't tolerate the afternoon shows. read more

Dave Ross is very good and pushes guests from both sides of the aisle. Tom & Curley are at polar opposites, but at least present different view points. The others aren't worth listening to. I really tried to like the Candy, Mike and Todd show, but it just isn't something that is informative, entertaining, or worthwhile. They are great people I'm sure, but the format doesn't work. I do miss Ron & Don as they had viewpoints that mattered and they were relatable. The good news is that they have lived on through the Ron & Don podcast. Easy to find and much easier to listen to! read more

Agree with most others. I switch to Adam Carolla podcast at noon. Morning news with Dave Ross and following show John and Curley are great. I once enjoyed listening to Dori (going back to KING 1090), but no longer. Same ranting everyday and loves to talk about how much and hard he works. Is surfing the web for stories really work? Also, instead of asking if he should tell a story, then go on about he wouldn't have enough time, blah blah blah....Dori, just tell the darn story or don't. Ron and Don were great most days. I would switch to something else when they'd get in too deep. I tried their replacement show a few times, but just don't care for them. read more

For a self proclaimed news based station KIRO FM is lacking in all areas. Ron and Don are the best ad for KOMO FM. When I try to listen at drive time for my news , traffic and weather, I can only stand the R and D act for so long before the dial gets changed. read more

No more Dori Mo son no more Kiro radio for this listener until he returns. He tells it like it is with fact checking and gives people a chance to come on the radio for an interview to examine the situation read more

I used to listen to this station because of the Ron and Don Show during my afternoon drive home. I tried to listen to the replacement show but I've decided to go back to my rock music stations during my drive home. I'll come back when you bring Ron and Don back. One less listener here for your ratings. Addio, KIRO! read more

We love listening to the 9 am - 3 pm hours (Dori is our favorite). The afternoon/evening is always changing. I didn't love the politics of the R&D show, but they had a show that we could listen to without it being painful. The replacement for them was not good. The evening show is equally as painful. I have problems listening on my radio often times because the signal has been bad the last few months. read more

I should update, as the wife and I have been tens since the get-go. Note: the following review is 100% based on the subjective, righteous tastes of Phil. The TBTL podcast does get me my fix. Dave Ross' show was quite good and has only gotten better since it became Ross and Burbank. Truly. For the most part, I like the "weekend" content. Tom and Thierry are charming. Ron and Don are useless. read more

Won't listen to Tom & Curley anymore - they're entertaining in a kind of yin and yang way, have thought provoking banter and are up on current events. But whether it's the show's producer or Tom and John themselves, they're off track when they don't care about listener's viewpoints (enough with the "cocaine on pizza"!). When it comes to talk radio, it's important to connect with listeners. Will try KOMO for talk radio, or as a last resort pick up a newspaper again . . . if they're still around anymore (sorry, Seattle Times). read more

Love Tom and Curly and Dave Ross. Gee and Ursula are okay, could be better... my favorite segment of their show is Friday with Michael Medved, I would love to hear him on instead of Dori Monson. I used to really like Dori when he was just right of center, alas, he drank the Kool aid and became a Trumper. Now the radio snaps off at noon! read more

Too many commercials over and over and over again. I really want to listen to what the many host have to say but I get turned off by the long commercial breaks. Dori is actually exciting to listen too. Such enthusiasm but I'm usually working when he's on during the day. I really like the late night guy, Jason R I believe. It would also be nice have a more diverse group of host. I usually just go to NPR. read more

I love Kiro with a couple exceptions. My favorites are Tom and Curley; they are great together. Good balance of the two personalities. Dori is a little too much one sided for my taste. Used to love the Ron and Don show; still love Ron but Don has just become so annoying. When a topic is introduced, the next word out of Don's mouth is either "I" or "My" and enough about his son! I tend to switch between them and NPR. read more

Ok, so here goes. I love the Ron and Don Show, Ursula, and Rachel, as well as the morning show. However, When Dori comes on, I cannot even listen to his voice. His rants and opinionated journalistic style, is a total deal breaker. But that's okay, I can easily make a point of not tuning into KIRO when he's on the air. I know that he has many fans, but he is just escruciatingly not my cup of tea. read more

Candy Mike and Todd show is terrible. You replaced your best show with a terrible one. The hosts have zero chemistry and all they do is bicker. read more

The cancellation of the Ron and Don show is a travesty. They did so much for the community and were very enjoyable to listen to. I tuned into their "replacements" and immediately changed to another station. They had nothing worthy of listening to. KIRO was my station of choice. No longer the case. I enjoy Dori and Dave Ross and will possibly continue to listen to them. I'm not sure what Ron and Don did to cause their exit, but hopefully someday we'll find out who they crossed at KIRO and/or their corporate people. I'm really sad, but am hopeful they land on their feet and we hear them on another Seattle radio station. Thank you Ron and Don for all you did for this area !!! read more

So glad your getting rid of the afternoon show with Candy, Todd and Mike. Was so boring and no chemistry there. Tom and Curley will be an improvement in that slot. Love Dori Monson is my favorite. Always tell you how it really is in our area. read more

First of all I just love the Dave Ross Program, barely tolerate the Dori Monson show, mildly like the Ron & Don Show ...but truly can't stand the Luke Burbank Too Beautiful to live daily ego--thon. It is very poor and isn't getting any better. The two hosts constantly talk baby-talk which is annoying, they are way too immature for this time slot, constantly pre-occupied with alcohol and awkward sexual situations (which aren't ever funny), the Luke Burbank guy is so impressed with himself and he just goes on and on about mindless drivel. There is no substance in his comments. This is the great station that features Dave Ross and has had Jim French and Bill Yend and these two (Jen and Luke) are so weak and so ego-centric, it's like they are getting ready to go to their first prom and have to weigh themselves for some unknown reason and have a tiny stash of booze and are sharing with everyone their new pimple cream. I've grown very tired of all their lame Ballard jokes and constant childish cuts and annoying radio theme music. Kiro can do so much better. read more

This radio show the Don and whoever show...it's just like listening to Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. These fellows talk like they have marbles in their mouth, and are so ignorant and that I cringe every time my dial passes over them. They are always looking to point out the negative in any situation that they are discussing. They probably think they're being edgy with their prattle, but truly they just reek of elitist attitudes and uneducated opinions. Just smells like a.m. radio, only on the FM dial. read more

I listen to and enjoy all the shows until 3:00 every weekday. I turn to NPR at 3 because of the un listenable Ron and Don show. It is unfortunate that I have to hear Don O'Neils horrid radio voice on so many commercials though. Otherwise it is a great radio station read more

The ad load is unbearable. The callers are from a certain gene pool who parrot things they hear elsewhere. They need to fire everyone and start over with less intrusive advertising. read more

So great to hear Sharon Vail back at KIRO always a fan of her honest and easy listening news and traffic reports. Welcome Back, and Great Job read more

Another Ron & Don fan with no reason to listen any longer. Previous R&D episodes on Stitcher are more compelling than the current drive-time show, which isn't a format that even makes sense to me. I have plenty of "balance" and competing viewpoints IRL; I listen to the radio to be entertained. And in the case of Ron and Don, inspired to "be a part of something bigger than myself." read more

I listen to 4 or 5 talk raido channels and kiro is my favorite. Kiro nights is my fav listen to Kiro nights!

I don't usually give negative reviews but News Talk Radio doesn't belong on the FM band or even on the AM band anymore and especially, when it replaces a great oldies music station like KBSG http://www.yelp.com/biz/kbsg-oldies-97-3-fm-seattle#hrid:LLMfHS8QC6WjZAUUGIg8dg which used to be on 97.3 FM. There, I've said it! read more

Coast to Coast with George Noory won't be on until Monday night (01-03-2011), but I'm very excited about it so I'm giving the station 5 stars now! It's about time someone thought of switching the late-night talk radio show out of a static-noise-challenged AM station and onto FM where it belongs. I just hope Ian Punnet's weekend show comes along, too. He's one of the best inteviewers on the radio. btw, if you've never heard of this radio show before, it's ok...it just means you're not an insomniac like me :-) read more

Nothing interesting on Ron and Don and frankly dont understand why they are still on kiro but love the Dori Monson show. Keep up the good work Dori and Jake. read more
