Manda Factor is jumping across town to anchor “Seattle’s Morning News” on Bonneville News/Talk 97.3 KIRO-FM Tacoma/Seattle with Charlie Harger.

Factor joins KIRO-FM from Lotus News “Northwest News Radio” 1000 KNWN/97.7 KNWN-FM where she co-anchored mornings since 2002. She reunites with Harger, who previously worked at what was then KOMO from 2003 to 2021 and took over mornings at KIRO-FM in January.

She commented, “I am beyond excited to join Charlie and the KIRO Newsradio team. Charlie has been an integral part of the Seattle community, and I look forward to collaborating with him to bring important news and meaningful conversations to our listeners every morning. There is so much happening in the world, and I am passionate about delving into those stories to share with our community.”

Bonneville Seattle Director of News and Talk Programming Bryan Buckalew said, “We’re thrilled to have Manda Factor join Seattle’s Morning News. Her reputation in the Pacific Northwest and genuine enthusiasm for connecting our community make her a fantastic addition. With Manda and Charlie Harger at the helm, we’re excited to bring our listeners a morning show that’s both informative and engaging.”
