Ron And Don Are Gone

Long running talk show duo Ron And Don, have left KIRO FM  in Seattle.  The pair had worked the afternoon slot for over a decade starting with KIRO AM 710, and then moving to the FM 97.3 station once the 710 turned all sports.
The show, hosted by Ron Upshaw and Don O'Neil, was ideal for long home commutes as they covered a variety of contemporary topics, as well as personal ones.
They were also known for cause radio, helping raise money for various  human interest stories.  They were instrumental in comforting the area during many area tragedies.
Producer Candy Harper will be promoted to co-host with reporter Mike Lewis who has done fill in work for KIRO's hosts and Todd Herman, who hosted a show on KIRO's Conservative sister station, KTTH.
