Houston news. Texas politics. Investigations. Plenty of opinions. Two hours you won’t mistake for anybody else’s morning show. Houston mornings sound different on KSEV. KSEV Mornings with Craig Coglianese and Wayne Dolcefino brings together “The Mob Guys” for two fast-moving hours of news, politics, investigations, opinion, humor, and conversation about the stories Texans are talking about. Craig Coglianese brings the energy, wit, and perspective of a millennial talk-radio veteran, breaking down the biggest stories from Houston, Texas, and across the country without taking the news — or himself — too seriously. Alongside him, award-winning investigative journalist Wayne Dolcefino brings decades of experience uncovering stories in Houston, challenging public officials, and asking the questions others sometimes won’t. Before joining KSEV, Dolcefino spent nearly 27 years at ABC13/KTRK, where he became one of Houston’s best-known investigative reporters through the station’s 13 Undercover unit. Together, Craig and Wayne take on everything from Houston City Hall and Texas politics to Washington politics, breaking news, government accountability, and the stories affecting your family and your community. Add in guests, listener calls, plenty of laughs, and the occasional story you probably won’t hear anywhere else, and no two mornings are quite the same. Smart, entertaining, and unmistakably Texas — start your day with KSEV Mornings, weekdays from 7–9 AM on KSEV 700 AM, The Voice of Texas.
