Dave Ryan launched The Dave Ryan Show on KDWB in 1993. From the fan-favorite segment “War of the Roses,” to showbiz news, to the annual “Christmas Wish,” to sharing details of his life on the air, his show has gained thousands of followers, young and old.

“When a 40 year old mom comes up to me and tells me she used to listen on the drive to school with her mom, and now she listens with her kids on their drive to school, well, that’s about the most rewarding thing I can hear.” — Dave Ryan

There have been many cast members over the years, including Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame member, Lee Valsvik.

 “I love the people I work with. They’re as much a part of the show as I am and I’m proud that nearly everyone listening can relate to someone on our show and think of us as friends.” — Dave Ryan
