Ryan’s Reign Extended At KDWB

• We teased this news last week, but now, it appears to be official, judging by the weight of the following comments — iHeartMedia Minneapolis announced an exclusive long-term agreement with market icon Dave Ryan to continue to wake up the Twin Cities as host of The Dave Ryan Show on 101.3 KDWB/Minneapolis, just as he has since 1992.

“Dave Ryan is Twin Cities’ morning radio,” said Rich Davis, Program Director of KDWB. “His show is part of the fabric of our DNA at iHeartMedia and across Minneapolis. We are excited to extend our partnership with Dave and continue delivering the best content to our listeners.”

Ryan’s career also includes earlier experience in Columbus, OH and Phoenix, and he’s been a long-time talent mentor for iHeartMedia working with morning shows across the country. Commenting on his exciting extension, Ryan remarked, “I am beyond excited to sign a new contract with KDWB and continue working at this legendary station. Thanks to Rich Davis, Gregg Swedberg, and Greg Alexander for making this possible. I’m grateful to be surrounded by such a dynamic team, including the amazing Falen Bonsett, Jenny Luttenberger, and Drake Webb. Together we will keep bringing the best entertainment and energy to the Twin Cities every day.”
