| Info | After four years as a reporter at WSB in Atlanta, Dave Ross joined KIRO Radio in 1978 as a news anchor, and started hosting his own talk show in 1987 . Since then he has become known to Seattle listeners as head of the Eastlake Avenue Crusaders for Common Sense, and picks up a modest out-of-town audience as a daily commentator on the CBS Radio Network.
He has occasionally taken his show overseas, most recently to Doha, Qatar to cover US Central Command and the reaction among Arabs to Operation Iraqi Freedom. In April 2002, he broadcast for a week from Jerusalem after an outbreak of suicide bombings.
Other assignments have included the Pope�s historic trip to Great Britain and Argentina in 1982, a three-week journey through China in 1984, the Soviet Union in 1987, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989, the Middle East in 1990 during the first Gulf War, the Yeltsin revolution in Moscow in 1991 (and a return visit in 1992), the Rodney King riots in LA later that same year, and in 2001, he co-anchored CBS Radio�s coverage of the Bush Inauguration with Dan Raviv from the steps of the Capitol.
Dave has been recognized with a Marconi nomination and the 2001 Edward R. Murrow Award for Commentary -- an award he was unable to accept: the ceremony was scheduled for September 12; his flight to Nashville was on September 11th. He ended up on assignment in New York City instead.
Since 1983 he has hosted and produced Chip Talk, a daily radio report on computers syndicated by the Associated Press. He was part of the 1995 Launch Team for C-NET and has served as Charles Osgood�s fill-in since 1992.
He's addressed conventions in Seattle, Vancouver BC, Spokane, Kansas City, Dallas and Pasadena, speaking to groups ranging from the California Library Association to the Association of Sheet Metal Contractors.
Dave�s other love is Gilbert & Sullivan, and you�ll find him most summers playing the comic baritone in the Seattle Gilbert & Sullivan Society�s summer productions at Seattle Center. In the summers of �96 and �99 he performed at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in Buxton, England, and most recently appeared in the title role in the 2002 production of �The Sorcerer.�
This summer he will portray the haughty and arch-conservative Grand Inquisitor in "The Gondoliers."
Occasionally, Dave will do a singing commentary. His latest hits include �Dict8or Boi" which merges Avril Lavigne and Saddam, "Ode to a Carpool Dummy," and "Ichiro, Ichiro, Ichiro," an operatic tribute to the Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki, which is now on file at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
You can find these and other songs at www.daveross.com.
He has served as a trustee of the Seattle Gilbert & Sullivan Society, an elected member 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.
