KVI/Seattle Welcomes Ari Hoffman to Weekday Afternoons

Ari Hoffman

"The Ari Hoffman Show" will be officially added to the KVI (Talk Radio 570) Seattle lineup from 3-6pm weekdays, beginning April 26. Hoffman has been filling in since long time host, Kirby Wilbur retired at the end of January. Hoffman is known for his humor and pop culture savvy. He never backs down from a challenge and enthusiastically engages with anyone, no matter their political ideology.

A local businessman and civic activist, Hoffman is not new to media as he has been featured on Fox News, Newsmax, The Dr. Drew Show, 60 Minutes, and the KOMO News Documentary "Seattle is Dying." He also reports regularly on Northwest issues in The Post Millennial.

"I am thrilled to be joining the amazing team at KVI. If I had known how much fun this gig would be I would have started 20 years ago. I look forward to bringing common sense ideas and a fresh take on news, politics and the culture wars to our listeners."

KVI Program Director Rick Van Cise said, "Our new afternoon host was right under our nose. What's important to you is important to Ari. He has an engaging and entertaining perspective on local and world issues that's enlightening and fun to hear."
