Dave Morey is an American radio host and DJ. Morey's broadcasting career spaned nearly forty years, of which twenty-six were spent at the San Francisco radio station KFOG. He has sometimes been called the Voice of KFOG.

Early life
Morey was born in Michigan and spent his childhood in Detroit. He had an early interested in music, spending most of his allowance on Motown records.

KFOG
Morey began working at KFOG in 1982 where he wrote commercials and served as the midday DJ. In September of 1982 Morey was the DJ on-air when KFOG transitioned from elevator music to rock 'n' roll. Instead of making an annoucement of the format change, Morey simply began playing Rock This Town.

Morey began hosting the KFOG morning show in 1992 after having refused the position previously because of the early hours and because it seemed "too loud ... too bells-and-whistles" for his style.

In honor of Morey's 20th year at KFOG, KFOG held a weeklong celebration in 2002, and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown declared September 16th, 2002 to be Dave Morey Day.
