Get ready for a game-changer on the airwaves! The Chad Benson Show is coming to KIRO-FM, and it's going to shake things up!
Starting February 2nd, Bonneville News/Talk 97.3 KIRO-FM in Tacoma/Seattle is adding Radio America's Chad Benson to their evening lineup. Benson, a seasoned broadcaster, will be bringing his unique style and engaging approach to the 7-10 pm slot, replacing some well-known programs.
But here's where it gets controversial... Benson, who currently co-hosts afternoons on KTAR-FM in Phoenix, is known for his ability to tackle complex topics with ease. He believes in delivering news with a human touch, an approach that has gained him a dedicated following.
In his own words, Benson aims to "deliver the news in a way that's informative, honest, and engaging, without losing sight of the human side of the stories." It's a refreshing take on news presentation, and one that KIRO-FM is betting will resonate with their listeners.
KIRO-FM's Director of News and Talk Programming, Bryan Buckalew, had this to say about the new addition: "Chad has a special talent for making complex issues accessible and engaging. He respects his audience's intelligence, values factual information, and knows how to connect with listeners on a deeper level. We're thrilled to have him on board."
So, what do you think? Will Chad Benson's show be a hit with Seattle listeners? Or is there a risk of losing the depth and analysis that some news programs provide?
