You can sure as hell tell who's the market leader and who's the market loser in the presidential primary season.
We don't have to name the loser, but KIROFM's definitely not it... what with Dave Ross & Luke Burbank (m-f, 9a-12p) reporting live from New Hampshire to the mothership and all of us all weekend, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Bonneville's obviously got the dough these days and is willing to spend it on live & local programming. Good on 'em.
wow. go Luke.

I've been digging Dave & Luke in NH. They have the right balance of seriousness and fun.

Great to see a station owner going the distance. KIRO Newsradio did this so well in the 70's and 80's. More power to them!

Luke looks like one of those fags that GayRea would love to get his mouth all over.

Everyone, let's Tebow a little for our hero Glenn who threw his back out.

Yes i particularly enjoyed Lukes trenchant comments about the cab driver who was so uninformed he shouldnt be allowed to vote, and his disdain for how early the bars close. what a waste of time and money

Maybe Dave can leave Puke in New Hampshire.

This reminds me of real radio reporting. Thanks KIRO!

Dave is doing real reporting--Luke is visiting bars.

"Spasrkler" - what does that mean? How can anyone take someone seriously who can't speak in comprehensible English? Explain please or I'll put you in the "to be ignored" gang of idiocy.

As a first time poster and long time reader I hoped that the insult/rancor factor would be reduced. Making fun of grammer errors or poor spelling is really not the way to go.
Mary can you please stop with the insulting commentary? I trust you can do better or perhaps go somewhere else if you can't follow the rules.

Waiting for the hoped firing of Luke. Seems like the station doesn't really want my demo to listen (and buy).
Maybe I'm just not into sham-wow jokes and Fruit Loops, Coco-Puffs and Ho-Ho humor.
In my day, tards like him would piss you off by reciting 20 minute segments of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Not original, not funny and his stammering and seeming complete inability to speak coherently make him very unlistenable and, given greater proximity, highly punchable.

"Maybe I'm just not into sham-wow jokes and Fruit Loops, Coco-Puffs and Ho-Ho humor."
Well, some prefer Jeff Renner reading weather casts in his articulate BORING zzzzzzzzzz way, or listening to KOMO 1000 drive time...
Me? I like the cart to be moving on, not broken down, with the donkey's leg snapped and crusted in the ooze and blood, rotting in the sun as the ants, spiders, vultures and Mitt advance.
Luke Burbank's golden emanating tones are among the most unique and talented that SeaTac yakker lovers' ears have been able to Sham Wow up in a long time.
Luke is in the Hardwick, Prell, Ross, French vein, only for a new day...
Also, I loves me my Monty Python, and I'd rather hear a person talking to me like a person at the bar than like a "Professional Talk Show Host" reading from the news or (yawn) weather script with the chortle chortle of a Dan Lewis or a Jeff Renner, or a Jean Enerson,,,,,reading other people's shit in their "Professional" adult voices.
I'm not in my adult diapers with my tapioca bowl (yet).
Dig it, Man?
and the beat goes on n on (if we is lucky ducky)
Maybe you lost your shot years ago, but you don't have to be a hater.
Let Luke's wings unfold, like a horror movie insect,,,in 3D!
There's still hope for you Rand. I believe in you Brother! Let me give you a big hug, Friendo! Let me drink your milkshake!

Dude, Luke Spermbank is, like, you know, way cool.

Good for KIRO ... signing Luke was pure genius. I love listening to Dave and Luke. They are both so different yet they compliment each other! To all the Luke haters ... get a life and listen to something else rather than complain!
