After five years as cohost of the KNX Morning News he was let go
for budgetary reasons after his shift on December 12, 2008. At the
time KNX parent company CBS had cut dozens of staff members in Los
Angeles. Dave was told he had done a great job but was simply
making too much money.
While working for KNX he and his partner, Vicky Moore, won four
consecutive Mark Twain Awards for Best Major Market News Team by
the Associated Press and numerous Golden Mikes from the Southern
California Broadcasters Association.
