Dave Benson
Program Director
KFOG

In 1971, Dave Benson did an article for his high school newspaper on the new "underground" radio station in his home town of Madison, Wisconsin. The radio station soon hired him as their late night announcer. Since then, Benson has worked in the free-form, AOR, Classic Rock and Adult Rock formats as an announcer, music director and progam director for radio stations in Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, San Diego, Los Angeles and, since 2000, at KFOG San Francisco. He also spent 3 years as a consultant for SBR Creative Media, the leading consultant to the AAA or Adult Rock radio in America. Benson's resume also includes 2 years as the tour manager for the Pat Metheny Group and a strange 18 months in the early 90's where it appears all he did was drive around the country in a jeep, reading books and riding his bicycle.
