iHeartMedia Minneapolis inks a long-term agreement with veteran air personality Dave Ryan to renew and expand his relationship with the company. Under the new multi-year deal, Ryan will continue his current role as host of "The Dave Ryan Show" on CHR KDWB in Minneapolis. He's a 30-year KDWB radio air talent with previous on-air stints in Columbus and Phoenix. Ryan has been a long-time talent mentor for iHeartMedia working with morning shows across the country.

"Dave Ryan is Twin Cities' morning radio," said KDWB Program Director Rich Davis. "His show is part of the fabric of our DNA at iHeartMedia and across Minneapolis. We are excited to extend our partnership with Dave and continue delivering the best content to our listeners."

Ryan and his co-hosts Falen, Jenny, and Drake have a devoted following every weekday morning as they bust potential cheaters on "War of The Roses," play throwbacks for "Winning Song Wednesday" and take their chances with listeners on air during "No Phone Screener Friday." Plus, they also have a popular podcast "The Minnesota Goodbye."

"I am beyond excited to sign a new contract with KDWB and continue working at this legendary station," said Ryan. "Thanks to Rich Davis, Gregg Swedberg, and Greg Alexander for making this possible. I'm grateful to be surrounded by such a dynamic team, including the amazing Falen Bonsett, Jenny Luttenberger, and Drake Webb. Together we will keep bringing the best entertainment and energy to the Twin Cities every day."
