Andy Hurst

Since November 2009, Andy Hurst has been the midday announcer at KUOW. He’s at the microphone from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. He also serves as the audio engineer for Weekday and The Conversation, and he anchors the 2:00 p.m. program, KUOW Presents.

Before taking over the midday shift, Andy was KUOW’s backup announcer. He was heard just about everywhere on the radio schedule: early mornings, middays, evenings and weekends.
