News Director Kyle Pauley and Reporter Daniel Hargrove will round out the KXRO Morning Show team. “The unique thing about this KXRO Morning Show is everyone is from Grays Harbor,” said Anderson. “We know the history, the people, and what matters to our community.” The show will feature the latest news and information with guest appearances from news makers as well as live call-in topics
at :15 and :45 every hour from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Along with the addition of Anderson, changes to the schedule at KXRO will provide a larger variety of programming including The Dana Show, Thom Hartmann, TMZ, as well as regional programming including In the Booth with Michael Howe from Port Angeles, and Portland based Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis.
Anderson will continue to host KXRO’s Live @ 9 and continue to maintain a presence on KDUX, hosting the afternoon show from noon to 6pm weekdays. Another longtime local radio veteran and rock music aficionado, Darwin Sharrah will take over the morning show duties on KDUX Classic Rock.
