David Rancken is an anchor on 1080 KRLD-AM during the afternoon drive from 3 - 8pm. "I moved to Dallas to work on the morning at 103.7 KVIL, and then moved down the hall to 98.7 KLUV."

He has been in broadcasting for more than 35 years, starting his career as the nightly news anchorman for a small TV station in Houston.
