Harger Named Morning Host, KIRO/Seattle
Harger started listening to KIRO as a kindergartner at Seattle’s Wedgwood Elementary in 1981. Fast-forward to 2021, when he fulfilled a lifelong dream by joining KIRO Newsradio as News Director. Harger began his journalism career in 1996 as the News Director for Green River College’s 89.9 KGRG/Auburn, WA. After a brief stint in the tech industry, Harger returned to news radio in 2002, joining KOMO Newsradio/Seattle, where he worked as an editor, anchor, and street reporter for 19 years.
“I want to help everyone start their day a little better informed and more connected to what’s happening around us,” Harger said. “Whether it’s breaking news or a story that makes you smile, my goal is to make sure our listeners feel ready to take on the day.”
