Ariel Van Cleave
Managing Editor, Audio News

She most recently worked as a Morning Edition producer/Weekend Edition Saturday host at KNKX in Seattle. While Ariel was there, she helped save the station from being sold to its competitor, reported extensively on issues affecting tribes in Washington state, participated in NextGen Radio as a mentor and helped usher in a regionally-focused project called “KNKX Connects.” When she’s not worried how things are sounding on the air, Ariel is a movie/TV fiend, uses her spidey senses to find the perfect spot for karaoke and will gladly volunteer for any road trip any time.
