Thor Tolo came to Seattle in 2004 after seven years anchoring sports and hosting an evening talk show once honored as Pennsylvania’s best at the world’s first radio station – KDKA Pittsburgh. He won four reporting awards while hosting the Jerome Bettis Show on radio and frequently contributing sports commentaries for KDKA-TV and UPN-19.

Covering the Seahawks’ Super Bowl in Detroit was a highlight of Thor’s four years hosting Live From Seattle a little ways down the dial from KOMO Newsradio, where he now anchors news between midnight and 5 o’clock – Fridays through Mondays.

Thor found radio to be an irresistible attraction while enjoying his Emmy award winning TV career in Cleveland – the first of four major markets in which he has broadcast. While co-hosting one of America’s first sports-as-entertainment morning shows for Cleveland’s WKNR, Thor caught the ear of KFAN in the Twin Cities – eventually hosting mornings and anchoring post-game shows on the 60-station Minnesota Vikings Radio Network.

Thor lives in Belltown with his wife, Shelly, who owns an event planning company – TOLO Events – with offices in downtown Seattle and Pennsylvania. He is pursuing his Master of Communication in Digital Media (exp. 2012) at the University of Washington.
